On Saturday, visibly enraged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy requested a share of the military weapons in Western countries’ stockpiles and wondered whether they were afraid of Moscow.
Several countries have pledged to deliver anti-armor and anti-aircraft missiles, as well as small guns, but Zelenskiy believes Kyiv requires tanks, planes, and anti-ship systems.
“That’s what our partners have, and it’s simply sitting around collecting dust. All of this is for the sake of not only Ukraine’s freedom, but Europe’s as well “he declared in a video speech delivered late at night.
Ukraine only only 1% of NATO’s aircraft and 1% of NATO’s tanks, he claimed, and would not request any more.
“It’s been 31 days since we’ve waited. Who governs the Euro-Atlantic community? Is Moscow really remain Moscow as a result of fear?” He expressed himself.
If Ukraine collapses, Zelenskiy has stated repeatedly that Russia will want to expand into Europe. NATO, on the other hand, refuses to support his desire for a no-fly zone over Ukraine, citing the risk of escalation.
Zelenskiy spoke with his Polish counterpart Andrzej Duda earlier in the day and expressed regret that Russian-made fighter planes in Eastern Europe had not yet been deployed to Ukraine, according to a statement released by Zelenskiy’s office.
“The cost of delaying with planes is tens of thousands of Ukrainian lives,” he said, according to the office. Poland and the US have both declared their preparedness to make a decision on the planes, according to Zelenskiy.
A surprise request from Poland to deploy MiG-29 fighter jets to a US facility in Germany to rebuild Ukraine’s air force was rejected by Washington earlier this month.
