The President of Ukraine said this Friday in Kyiv that Ukraine “has all the conditions” to expel the Russians from eastern Ukraine, but for this it needs additional military support from the West, namely long-range weapons.
“If we get long-range weapons, we will not only not leave Bakhmut, but we will also liberate Donbass, which has been occupied since 2014,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
At the first EU summit in Ukraine since the beginning of the war, the president. European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen and President. European Council member Charles Michel declared his support “in the fight against Russia for as long as it takes.” But nothing was planned for ranged weapons. The 10th package of sanctions against Russia, which Zelensky also called for, will be applied, but it is less severe than he would like. And the disappointments do not end there: Ukraine denied Zelensky quick access to the EU, primarily because of the need for additional measures to combat corruption.
