Russia-Ukraine War: Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged the United States (US) and other western nations to deliver crucial military aid for a much-anticipated counter-offensive against Russia.
According to Volodymyr Zelensky, delayed arrival of promised aid has stalled the planned military offensive by Ukraine.
“With (what we already have) we can go forward, and, I think, be successful. But we’d lose a lot of people. I think that’s unacceptable. So we need to wait. We still need a bit more time,” the Ukraine president told the media.
Zelensky said that the combat brigades of the Ukrainian military are almost ready for the offensive against Russia, but still needed “some things”, including armoured vehicles that were “arriving in batches”.

The Ukrainian government has attempted to lower expectations over the coming offensive with a senior government official admitting that the assault should not be seen as a potentially decisive move in the war against Russia.
