Zelenskyy laments repeatedly asking allies for weapons they have in storage, says war would be over

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said it is "unfair" that he is forced to repeatedly ask allied nations for security assistance when they have arms sitting in storage.

"If we had access to all the weapons we need, which our partners have and which are comparable to the weapons used by the Russian Federation, we would have already ended this war," he said in a late-night address Tuesday.

"That is why I emphasize the simple truth in literally every contact with the leaders of the democratic world, in all negotiations, in all interviews - it is unfair that Ukraine is still forced to ask for what its partners have been storing somewhere for years," he added.

Zelensky, tonight: "I am very pleased to say, with cautious optimism that our partners started to understand our needs better ... And when exactly we need this. Not in weeks, not in a month, but immediately. Right now, as Russia is trying to intensify its attacks."— Jack Detsch (@JackDetsch) April 21, 2022

Not fair!!! Well titty baby, if your nation hadnt Ben one of the most corrupt on earth the last decade plus, you’d probably have all you needed. For tad matter it’s doubtful you would be in a war.

So tired of this clown’s hectoring and entitled attitude.

We have some nukes in storage. Maybe we should dust off some of those and send them through Poland.

He might want to look in the buildings where there are vast amounts laying around uncollected. He simply doesn’t have the man power to utilize for a ground war to even fight which is why early on he invited anyone to go there. He knew what he was taking on was impossible to achieve without a World WAR he was happy to encourage with a mic and a message video to any who would hear.

I didn’t like the guy from the get go....still don’t...and won’t when this is over.

He doesn’t have enough manpower to operate those that are sent.

My gosh the amount of military armament ‘left’ when Ukraines military moves about is striking. Manpads left at thousands of dollars a piece isn’t chicken feed!

He’s asking for weapons in storage because his military doesn’t know how to operate whats being sent....let alone maintain.

Same here. I feel sorry for the innocent civilians, but I have no sympathy left for him.

This is what happens when you have a corrupt, senile American leadership and a comedian in an undershirt leading Ukraine.

Maybe they could have borrowed some of our stuff from the Afghan boys? Biden’s as worthless as a lighter in hell.

Is he going to let his entire country crumble before he is willing to negotiate a settlement?

NATO doesn’t have enough weapons to sustain the conventional war like this.
