Western allies are taking too long to make key decisions on military support for Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told Reuters in an exclusive interview in Kyiv on Monday.
He also said he was pushing partners to get more directly involved, opens new tab in the war by helping to intercept Russian missiles over Ukraine and allowing Kyiv to use Western weapons against enemy military equipment amassing near the border. The call to accelerate aid and push so-called “red lines” of engagement in the conflict reflect the growing pressure Zelenskyy’s forces are under along more than 1,000 km of front lines in the northeast, east and south of the country.
He said that if countries could not supply the planes straight away, they could still fly them from neighboring NATO states and shoot down Russian missiles. The Ukrainian leader also said Kyiv was negotiating with international partners to use their weapons to strike Russian military hardware at the border and further inside Russian territory. “So far, there is nothing positive,” he said. Russian President Vladimir Putin would likely view such developments as escalatory.
