Kyiv is getting enough to hold but not to win against Russia, the Ukrainian president said.
KYIV — Relentless pressure from Ukraine on getting its allies to allow it to hit targets inside Russia with donated weapons may be starting to work, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday.
“We understood there was resistance and negative reaction to us using even our own weapons to strike in Russia, but we thought it was unfair and had to fight for our own. Nowadays everyone is not talking about that anymore,” Zelenskyy said, adding:"Striking with long-range weapons in Russia is still an unpopular decision. So, we have to keep pushing for more."
"NATO's policy is unchanged — we will not be involved in this conflict. We will not become part of the conflict," StoltenbergWarsaw is considering Kyiv's proposal that Polish forces intercept Russian missiles heading toward Polish territory while they are still in Ukrainian airspace. Ukraine is also hoping that U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets being donated by Norway, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands will help shift the balance in the air war, although Zelenskyy cautioned that too few jets were being sent.
