Letter: This is no way to protect Kosovars
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: After more than two weeks of bombings against fixed targets in both Serbia and Kosovo the weight of attacks should now be aimed overwhelmingly at tanks and infantry formations in Kosovo. Attacking barracks, telephone exchanges and bridges in Serbia, with the risk of major loss of civilian life, is not sensible at this stage.
The fact that only one Nato plane has been shot down while there have been several thousand missions suggests that few of the attacks have been carried out at a very close range More aggressive tactics are probably needed for the air-only policy to succeed.
