With both of the figures made, attach the cone onto the cylinder using a tape.
Cut a triangular shape and turn it into a cone, secure it by stapling its ends. This serves as the body of the rocket ship.Īfter making the cylinder shape, we are going to make a cone shape out of the remaining cardboard. Roll the cardboard to make a cylinder and attach it using a stapler. In this activity, you will have to prepare the following materials: cardboard, stapler, aluminum foil, scissors, coloring pens, tape, colored papers, yarn and needle.Īll set? Let’s dive in! For the first step, cut a rectangular shape out of the cardboard- decide on how big the rocket should be. The men will be held under they are tried or released.Have you ever thought how thrilling it can be to become an astronaut?Ĭreate your own rocket ship and be ready to explore! There’s going to be a lot of adventures that await. Kirovohrad - An official of one of the district military committees, who had forged medical certificates and sold them to would-be conscripts.Cherkasy - The secretary of the district military medical commission, who was selling fake medical certificates with severe diseases.Ivano-Frankivsk - The head of one of the district military committees, for taking bribes to alter medical records.Lviv - A military recruitment official, after demanding $17,000 from two men to dodge military service.Kyiv - Two people from the South Caucasus, for selling fake passports.The SBU said it made the following arrests, and listed the allegations made against them: "Thanks to the prompt response of the SBU, it was possible to prevent the illegal departure of more than a hundred potential conscripts to the countries of the European Union," it added. This would cost conscripts anywhere between $500-$8,500, depending on the urgency of the situation and the method of getting across the border. "For money, the perpetrators helped conscripts to avoid military service and leave Ukraine on the basis of forged documents or to bypass checkpoints," the SBU said in a statement. Ukraine's security services (SBU) are continuing a crackdown on corruption in the country, making arrests relating to a number of "draft dodging" schemes across the country. Others, from the more traditional core of the Republican Party argue that the battlefield stalemate and the concerns of the Trumpian caucus could all have been avoided if President Biden had provided all the weaponry needed much earlier.īut of course, we'll never know how Putin would have responded if the West had laid all their weapons on for Ukraine to use at the start of this bloody war. Some within the Republican Party, a vocal minority deeply aligned with Donald Trump, oppose all funding for Ukraine which they inaccurately say comes in the form of "blank cheques". On the left, among Democratic Party politicians, there is overwhelming support for continued financial and material support for Ukraine. There is an interesting dichotomy emerging in American politics when it comes to Ukraine. Some dormant variants of the weapon may be more available, and we know too that an order was given in the last National Defence Authorisation Act to procure and produce nearly 2000 more ATACMS - perhaps to backfill supply given to Ukraine. It's understood that the American stock of the missile is not at a level which makes US officials feel entirely comfortable about handing a whole load of them over to Ukraine. The second particular concern with the ATACMS is supply. Given the positions of the current frontline and the range of the ATACMS, it would be a push for them to hit Russia territory. This is tactically advantageous.Īmerica had a number of concerns about supplying the ATACMS to Ukraine.įirst, the enduring concern over how Russia would respond to ever-more sophisticated western weaponry on the battlefield, especially if the weapons are capable of striking within Russia itself. Ukraine is short of fighter jets.Īnd so the ATACMS can be launched from the ground in all weather at a point closest to the frontline beyond which the target is. They require good weather and a capable air force. But these must be launched from fighter jets.
Ukraine already has Storm Shadow cruise missiles which have a longer range than the ATACMS. Used tactically, they could hit Russian supply lines and command/control locations in Russian-occupied eastern Ukraine. Sources here in Washington have confirmed to me that America will provide a small number of the ATACMS to Ukraine soon. It has a range of about 180 miles, it's guided, it can be fired from Ukraine's existing fleet of missile launch systems and President Zelenskyy's battlefield commanders have been asking for it for some time. It’s a play on an acronym, ATACMS, which itself stands for Army Tactical Missile System.
