Summary
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky says his country needs a “crucial” weapons system to help win the war against Russia. The House approved additional aid for the country on Saturday, including $61 billion for his country. “I think this support will really strengthen the armed forces of Ukraine,” he says. He said he could not give a timeline for the conflict without knowing when Ukraine will get the weapons systems. He noted that while allies have approved sending F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, the country still does not have them. “Now we have all the chance to stabilize the situation and to overtake the initiative,” he said. “The timeline of the war, well, it depends on how soon we get this aid,” Zelensky says. “But giving U.S. specific timeline of war, it depends. on how quickly we get it.” The U.N. Security Council has passed a resolution to send more troops to Ukraine.
