The Ukrainian President appealed to US congressmen with a request to hurry with the supply of weapons before time is lost.
Ukraine has three to six weeks to return the territories seized by Russia, which will be more difficult to do later. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelensky to the delegation of the US Congress, Politico reports.
According to Zelensky, the current period is decisive, since winter will approach further, during which it is more difficult to wage war.
Adam Smith, head of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Armed Services, who was part of the delegation, told Politico about this.
“The winter months are rapidly approaching. Cooler temperatures and harsher conditions will slow the fighting down to an exhausting war of attrition that mostly benefits Russia. More support now – before Vladimir Putin’s forces record their gains – is far preferable to help later,” he said.
The publication notes that the main subject of disagreement now is the question of what exactly to provide Ukraine.
