‘Nonsense Situation’: Zelensky Says Russian Offensive on Kharkiv Could be 'First Wave' of Attacks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has sharply criticised Western countries for imposing restrictions on the use of donated arms, accusing them of being "afraid" of both a Russian and Ukrainian defeat. In a candid interview with AFP on Friday, Zelensky expressed his frustration over the conditions placed on the use of long-range weapons supplied to Kiev. “They can fire any weapons from their territory at ours. This is the biggest advantage that Russia has. We can’t do anything to their systems, which are located on the territory of Russia, with Western weapons,” Zelensky stated in the interview aired on Saturday. This restriction significantly hampers Ukraine's ability to retaliate against Russian forces effectively. #ZelenskySpeaks #KharkivOffensive #FirstWaveAttacks #UkraineUnderFire #RussianAggression #DefendUkraine #WesternSupport #MilitaryConflict #UkraineCrisis #StandWithUkraine #EasternEuropeWar #GlobalSecurity #KharkivBattles #UkraineResistance #PeaceForUkraine ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.194~GR.125~
