Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to visit Washington DC next week as Congress debates whether to approve more aid for Ukraine.
Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, says it is "difficult" for his forces to fight Russia without long-range weapons and that the decision to supply them to Ukraine "depends only" on the US. Speaking during a visit to the Czech capital, Zelensky explains that a lack of long-range weapons means "you can't reach the right distance to destroy your enemy."
