Ukraine needs “powerful and long-range weapons” — fighter jets, in other words — because Russia’s air superiority over the battlefield has allowed them to “stop our counteroffensive”, President Zelensky said.
Russia is denying air superiority to Ukraine and using that to “stop” the counteroffensive, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Friday, the latest in a line of remarks addressing the difficulty the Western-armed Ukrainian army has had this year turning back the tide of the Russian occupation.
Speaking at a conference in Kyiv on Friday, Zelensky said Ukraine needed “powerful and long-range” because: “We are not in the sky and Russia is, they stop us from the sky. They stop our counteroffensive”, reports Le Figaro.
Zelensky also accused Western powers of hypocrisy in their urging Ukraine to fight faster, when they themselves — in his view — acted too slowly to support the invaded nation. He continued: ” They stop our counteroffensive. The war is complicated, some processes are complicated, and many things have been slowed down. When some allies say: ‘What about the counter-offensive? When will the next step be?’. My answer is that today, our steps are coming faster than [the West’s] new sanctions packages.

Just say no.
we just need to send them drones, and shoulder fired missiles that can take out tanks or low flying air.
anything large will be easily targetted and taken out. Just give them what they need to resist
I thought the ghost of Kiev single handedly wiped out the entire Russian AF.
It’s not out fight. Let the Euros send weapons. It’s their Reich that they are tring to build.
Demands?
you’d think he’d be grateful but nope... apparently-
Well, he’s admitting they are failing. About time. Now, maybe he should declare a ceasefire and sue for peace. Surrender while there are still a few Ukrainians alive.
“anything large will be easily targetted and taken out. Just give them what they need to resist”
They have secured their independence. All that is left now is determining where the borders will be.
Just give him ICBMs and get this over with.
They need weapons for their new all-female fighting forces since the men have nearly all been killed.
Volodymyr “GibsMeDat” Zelenskyy has a very good lobbying firm in DC.
Uncle Sugar to the rescue.
No more villas for you Zelensky.
You’d have to be a real idiot to think a flow of weapons is not needed to sustain a war effort.
Never worked any other way in the history of the world.
And Russia in Ukraine as a Victor will be a very dangerous situation for Europe and US.
But it’s so much fun to complain when they are fighting.
And Russia in Ukraine as a Victor will be a very dangerous situation for Europe and US.
Ukraine was the hell hole country of corruption, trafficking, and evil.
Correcto mundo senor. Russia taking over Ukraine will remove the most corrupt country from world, and world will be a better place. No more Burisma paying Hunter Biden millions of dollars for his expertise (????) in energy production.
Zelensky is wrong and talking off agenda. The Russians have no air power, much less air superiority. Their air force can't fly their rusty old wrecks, which don't operate unless they steel Ukrainian washing machines for computer parts and besides they have no munitions anyway because those were all destroyed in the march on Kiev long ago. And the Counteroffinisve is winning hand has taken back 80% of Russian captured territory as Blinken said a week ago.
Stick to the talking points. How many times do you have to be told. Sheesh. I mean we give you a new villa just last week. You would think you could show some gratitutde and just read your lines. We aren't asking a lot.
Shove it up your Biden-Bama hole, Zelensky. Why not go the front lines, get your sorry *ss shot, and let your country try to get a sentient leader. You are a stupid as a Democrat. Oh, forgot.......
