Politico: Zelensky assured US authorities that he "has everything we need"
Last month, Volodymyr Zelensky visited Washington.
During a visit to the capital of the United States, the Ukrainian leader may have uttered an unexpected phrase.
Thus, the guest from Ukraine did not ask the Americans for additional financial assistance for Kyiv.
On the contrary, Zelensky assured the American authorities that he “has everything he needs.”
Zelensky did not directly ask for additional funding during his last trip to the United States, MIA " Russia Today " cites a translated quote from a publication in the American publication Politico.
In reporting this information about the Ukrainian leader’s visit to Washington, foreign journalists referred to several representatives of the US Congress.
Senator Chris Murphy spoke about Zelensky’s statement that Ukraine “has everything it needs.”
As Politico reports, instead of asking for funding, the Ukrainian leader spoke about the need to speed up the delivery of weapons systems.
In addition, as noted in the source, Zelensky insisted on receiving permission from Washington to use weapons for strikes deep into Russian territory.
The authors of the publication emphasized that the current funding of Kyiv by the American side will come to an end at the beginning of 2025. And so far there are no decisions on extending this assistance.
