Zelensky: Western aid is not enough even for 4 brigades of the Ukrainian army

According to Isna, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky did not specify exactly what these 14 army brigades should be ready for or where they should be deployed.

In the continuation of his interview with CNN, the President of Ukraine used other examples to emphasize that Western aid to Ukraine is not enough to prevent Russian attacks on Ukraine.

He also emphasized that the delivery of aid shipments will be done slowly after the commitment of the partners.

The president of Ukraine continued his interview and said: “Everyone should understand what we went through and what we did during this eight-month break before the positive decision of the US Congress to provide a $61 billion aid package last April.” “We used everything we could.”

“We transferred what we had in the warehouses and what the reserve brigades had for use, and now we need help to fight,” Zelenskiy added.

The Ukrainian president also defended the decision of the Ukrainian military command to launch the Kursk offensive in Russia in August to divert Russian forces instead of keeping Ukrainian forces east of Pokrovsk.

Zelensky further said that it doesn’t matter how many brigades defend the east, if “half of them are not equipped, this situation is not worth at all. Ukrainian forces lack armored vehicles and artillery shells, because Russian forces fire 12 times more bullets than Ukrainian forces.

In a previous interview with Bloomberg on July 4, the President of Ukraine said that 14 brigades in the Ukrainian Armed Forces have not yet been equipped with the necessary weapons that the US Congress had previously voted to send to Ukraine, and that the delivery of these equipment is being done slowly.

He pointed out that these brigades, if properly equipped, can be used for counter-attacking Ukraine.

In an interview with the BBC, Zelensky said Russia was dropping 4,000 guided aerial bombs a month in eastern Ukraine, destroying 80 percent of the country’s energy infrastructure, as the United States discussed allowing Ukraine to attack airfields deep in the country. Russian soil is doubtful; Where Russian fighters are stationed.
