‘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.
The comments come a day after two anonymous US officials indicated that the Biden administration was prepared to let Ukraine use American weaponry to strike inside Russia but only in the defence of the northern region of Kharkiv.
