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.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday pressed NATO to invite Kyiv to join the alliance and send more fighter jets and long-range weapons, as battles with Russia raged on in the east of the country.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Washington Thursday to appeal for help fighting Russia, winning warm words of support and weapons from Joe Biden but confronting skeptical Republicans who want to cut off aid.
