Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asks NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg to help Kyiv "overcome the reluctance" of some member states to provide long-range weapons to Kyiv as it continues to repel Russia's invasion. Zelensky says the delays in supply are "time lost for peace and the lives of our soldiers."
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."
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. Hardline Republicans are threatening to block Democrat Biden's request for a fresh $24 billion aid package for Ukraine, and it has now become caught up in a bitter spending battle that could spark a US government shutdown. For more on Zelensky's crucial trip to the US and Canada, FRANCE 24's Mark Owen is joined by Mark Temnycky, nonresident Fellow with the Atlantic Council's Eurasia Center.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to visit Washington DC next week as Congress debates whether to approve more aid for Ukraine.
