War, “long-range missiles and F-16 fighters”. Ukraine begs US for arms

More weapons to try to defeat and push back Russia. At a Pentagon meeting with US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal thanked the American people for their continued support for Ukraine, assuring that “we are going to win this war”. “But to achieve this victory more quickly and with fewer victims – underlined the Prime Minister – Ukraine still needs important military support. More air defense systems that minimize the impact of Russian air attacks, more heavy artillery, mortars and ammunition for them. We also urge you to reconsider the possibility of supplying Ukraine with long-range missiles,” Shmyhal told Lloyd, the Pentagon said in a statement.

The Prime Minister of Ukraine said that Ukraine needs more heavy equipment, but also planes. He thanked Austin for the Abrams tanks the United States will supply Ukraine, as well as the Bradley and Stryker infantry fighting vehicles. “In modern warfare, air superiority is crucial,” he later observed. “That is why Ukraine is starting to build a new fighter aircraft coalition and is asking the United States to become the most important country in this coalition. America can once again demonstrate its leadership by supplying Ukraine with F-15 or F-16 fighters » Shmyhal commented on the summit with Joe Biden’s men.
