Zelensky: Without the help of America, we have to retreat

Zelensky stated in an interview with the Washington Post that was published on Friday night: If there is no American support, it means that we do not have the air defense system, Patriot missiles and electronic weapons jammers and 155mm cannon balls.

He added: This will mean our retreat step by step, with small steps. We must try to find a way to prevent retreat.

Meanwhile, Oleksandr Sirsky, who was recently appointed as the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Ukrainian Army, said: “Russia has six times more firepower than the Ukrainian forces on the front line, and this superiority of military power causes the loss of troops and the loss of our positions.” /p>

Ukraine has asked the US Congress to approve a 60 billion dollar military aid package for Kiev.

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said that the United States will not allow Ukraine to lose the war, while the delivery of Washington’s aid package to Kiev has stalled due to congressional opposition.

The Republican-controlled House of Representatives has blocked $60 billion in aid to Ukraine, and Joe Biden’s administration has warned that the latest $300 million package will only last a few weeks.

The US defense minister said: We are determined to provide Ukraine with the resources it needs to resist Russian aggression.

Washington announced a $300 million aid package to Ukraine last week, but Austin said this was only possible because of savings in recent purchases.
