Associated Press: Zelensky left Rammstein in defeat
An American News agency reports that the preside of Ukraine has failed to get Washington’s support for using long-range missiles and ammunition against Russian positions.
According to Isna, Ukrainian Preside Volodymyr Zelensky, despite his success in getting the support of some of Kiev’s allies to use ammunition provided by the West to attack Russia, failed to “get the support and permission of his most importa ally, the United States.” has eaten
According to the Associated Press report, at a meeting of Ukraine’s allies at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, the Preside of Ukraine reiterated his request to Western couries to provide more long-range missiles and to remove restrictions on their use to target targets such as airports inside Russia. But his statemes were openly opposed by US Defense Minister Lloyd Austin.
“There is no single capability that is decisive in this war,” Austin said at the meeting. Ukraine has its own drone-like capabilities to target targets inside Russia that go beyond the UK’s Atcoms and Storm Shadow missiles. There are many targets inside Russia that Ukraine can hit with its capabilities.
Zelensky’s request came after Russia’s rece powerful airstrikes, including against a Ukrainian military training ceer, which, according to Kiev, left more than 50 dead and hundreds injured.
“We need to have this long-range capability not only on Ukrainian soil, but also on Russian soil, so that Russia has the inceive to make peace,” Zelenskiy said in an effort to gain support from key allies. “We have to make Russian cities and even Russian soldiers think about what they need: peace or Putin.”
Russian missile attack on Kiev
Zelensky’s unsuccessful struggle
According to the Associated Press, despite Zelensky’s repeated requests, he has still failed to convince US Preside Joe Biden to ease the restrictions imposed by the coury on the terms of use of weapons provided to Ukraine. While Biden has given Ukraine permission to fire US-provided missiles at Russia in self-defense, Kiev is barred from using the missiles to attack Russia due to concerns about further escalation of the conflict. Biden’s concern about the escalation of tension and the outbreak of World War III is serious.
According to one of the newly written books, American analyst and author David Sanger, who is close to US Preside Joe Biden, told his relatives that “Zelensky may try to open America’s foot to World War III.”
But the Ukrainian preside has succeeded in persuading several couries, including Canada, to use the provided weapons against Russia. Of course, as Canadian Defense Minister Bill Blair said in this meeting, Canada does not have long-range ammunition to provide to Ukraine. As a result, such a coury’s support for Ukraine’s plan to attack Russia is poiless.
On the other hand, Lithuanian Defense Minister Laurinas Kasionas said in this meeting: “Many couries agree with Ukraine’s plan. “But the issue is not the number of couries that agree, but the issue of the couries that have long-range missiles.”
“I hope it will help convince other couries,” Kassionas said, announcing Lithuania’s support for Ukraine.
According to the Associated Press analyst, the support of a large number of couries, even couries that do not have the weapons needed by Ukraine, can pressure the Biden administration to reduce the restrictions imposed.
The talks in Germany are taking place as the Americans prepare for November’s presideial election, which could have importa implications for Ukraine.
Democratic candidate Kamala Harris has promised to stand by Ukraine, Republican candidate and former US preside Donald Trump also insists that he will end the war within 24 hours before his possible inauguration.
Advance of Russian forces towards Pokrovsk
Increasing Russian advance in eastern Ukraine
The field conditions are completely to the detrime of Ukraine, and the British Ministry of Defense has recely admitted to the increasing advance of the Russian army’s ground forces towards the importa and strategic city of Pokrovsk, located in eastern Ukraine.
In this regard, Zelensky said at the meeting of allies of Ukraine: “Ukraine’s surprise attack io the Kursk region of Russia has led to the capture of about 1,300 square kilometers of Russian territory and the killing or wounding of about 6,000 Russian soldiers.” But it hasn’t diverted Russian Preside Vladimir Putin’s focus from seizing the Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk, which provides rail lines and vital supplies for the Ukrainian military. “Losing Pokrovsk could put other Ukrainian cities at risk.”
However, according to the Associated Press, not all of Zelensky’s efforts to gain American support have failed. During this meeting, the US Secretary of Defense announced that Washington will provide Ukraine with another $250 million in weapons, including air defense ammunition and artillery.
The German governme also announced that Prime Minister Olaf Schultz will meet with Zelensky late Friday in Frankfurt.
Among other donations, Germany pledged to deliver 12 more self-propelled howitzers to Kiev, while Canada said it plans to send 80,840 more unarmed small-surface-to-air missiles as well as 1,300 warheads in the coming mohs.
In the past 2 years, members of the “Ukraine Defense Coact Group” have provided nearly $106 billion in security assistance to Ukraine. The United States provided more than $56 billion of this amou.
