The United States can significantly speed up Ukraine’s victory in the war with Russia by boosting the supply of a range of military equipment to Ukraine.
Volodymyr Zelensky stated this in his address to both chambers of U.S. Congress, Ukrinform’s own correspondent reports.
He emphasized that “Ukraine never asked the American soldiers to fight on our land instead of us. I assure you that Ukrainian soldiers can perfectly operate American tanks and planes themselves. Our lack of armored vehicles and aviation prolongs this war and allows Russia to kill our people, to keep the occupied cities and villages of Ukraine in totalitarian conditions,” Zelensky said.
The President noted that financial support by the United States is also “critically important” and that this is not “charity” but an investment in the global security and democracy that Ukraine handles “in the most responsible way.”
He added that only Russia could stop its aggression if it wanted to “but YOU can speed up our victory, I know it.”
“And it will prove to any potential aggressor that no one can succeed in breaking national borders, no one committing atrocities and reigning over people against their will.”
As Ukrinform reported, Zelensky is on an official visit to the United States. This is his first trip abroad since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.
