Biden demanded from Zelensky not to criticize the supply of weapons - The Washington Post

After the full-scale war with Russia, Biden and Zelensky communicated about once every 2-3 weeks. On Monday, October 10, Biden condemned the massive missile strokes of the Russian Federation and promised to send Ukraine assistance. The relationship between the two presidents was not always smooth. Zelensky has repeatedly and publicly urged states and other Western allies to do more - to send additional weapons, to impose rigid sanctions and other measures, stated in the White House.

"Biden understood that Zelensky should defend his people. Biden said it was difficult for him to ask for money in Congress, if Zelensky shows a gratitude and continue to say that there was little," one of the former White House officials said. When Baiden is asked how long it can be expected from the United States of billions of assistance to the war against the Russian Federation, he and his main assistants answer: "as much as it will be needed.

" American officials say that neither Russia nor Ukraine can immediately win the war. The states denied the idea of ​​pushing Ukraine in negotiations with the aggressor. Washington does not know what the end of the war will look like, as it all depends on Kiev. "This decision should be made by Ukrainians. Our task now is to help them be better on the battlefield and the day they decide to sit at a diplomatic table," the State Department of the State Department said.

Recall that with the approach of winter, Kyiv is forced to review the application for weapons from the West. The main priority was a new air defense system, as the army of the Russian Federation increased infrastructure. The White House earlier confirmed to Ukraine assistance in supplying weapons, despite the intimidation of Russian President Vladimir Putin. On October 12, Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov spoke about the arrival of the German IRIS-T air defense system in Ukraine.
