Zelensky asserts that, "Biden can strengthen Ukraine and make important decisions for Ukraine to become stronger and protect its independence while he is the president of the United States. I think it is a historical mission from the perspective of Ukraine." He emphasizes the gravity of the situation, stating that the decisions made now will define not only Ukraine's future but also how history will view Biden's presidency.
Ukraine has ramped up appeals for long-range weapons, stating that these could significantly alter the dynamics of the conflict. Zelensky noted, "Banning Ukraine from using the weapons also poses an immense danger to Western security, Kyiv has warned." This underscores the urgency felt by Ukrainian officials regarding their military capabilities.
Zelensky expressed frustration regarding his Western partners' hesitancy, saying, "We have not used long-range weapons on the territory of the Russian Federation… but neither America nor the United Kingdom gave us permission to use these weapons on the territory of Russia." This highlights the complex geopolitical calculations affecting military support.
Regarding Biden's risk assessment, Zelensky mentioned, "I believe Biden is receiving information from his team that Russia could escalate, but not everyone around him thinks so. And this is already an achievement." This points to internal divergences within U.S. advisory circles regarding the situation.
