“Now we have a chance to stabilize the situation and take the initiative, so we really need weapon systems,” said Vladimir Zelensky, answering a correspondent’s question whether military assistance American would help achieve victory in the war or simply prolong it.
According to Zelensky, the situation on the front will depend on when Ukraine receives aid. He added that over the past six months “the process has stalled” and during this time the Ukrainian Armed Forces have suffered losses in personnel and equipment.
