At his first appearance at a regular U.S.-hosted gathering of Ukraine’s allies at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Western allies to ignore Moscow’s “red lines” and allow Kyiv to use long-range weapons for strikes on Russian territory, Reuters writes.
Zelenskyy noted that Ukraine needs to have this long-range capability not only on the occupied territory of Ukraine, but also on Russian territory, so that they can make Russia seek peace.
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin pledged a further $250 million in weaponry for Kyiv, while the U.K. will send an additional 650 short-range missiles to Ukraine.
