PNN – President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that if American military aid does not reach Kiev, his country’s army will be forced to retreat in front of Russia.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, Zelensky said in an interview with the Washington Post that was published on Friday night: If there is no American support, it means that we don’t have the air defense system, Patriot missiles, electronic weapon jammers, and 155 mm cannon balls.
He added: This will mean our retreat step by step, with small steps. We have to try to find a way to prevent backsliding.
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 the firepower of the Ukrainian forces on the front line, and this superiority of military power causes casualties and gives away our positions.”

Ukraine has asked the US Congress to approve a 60-billion-dollar military aid package for Kiev.
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said that the United States will not allow Ukraine to lose the war, as Washington’s aid package to Kiev 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 Secretary of Defense said: We are determined to provide Ukraine with the resources it needs to resist Russian aggression.
Washington announced a $300 million aid package for Ukraine last week, but Austin said that was only possible because of savings in recent purchases.
