Zelensky Admits Ukraine Lacks Weapons to Stop Russian Armed Forces Offensive
21:25 GMT 06.04.2024 (Updated: 04:54 GMT 07.04.2024) Ukraine does not have sufficient weapons to conduct offensive operations against the Russian army or to disrupt its progress, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Saturday.
"As for thwarting the Russians' counteroffensive actions — there are not enough appropriate weapons [in Ukraine]," the Ukrainian president said during an appearance on a national news broadcast.
Ukraine's armed forces are attempting to compensate for the shortage of artillery shells with drones, which "help but cannot be an alternative," he added.
Western countries have ramped up military and financial aid to Ukraine since the start of Russia's military operation in February 2022. The Kremlin has consistently warned against continued arms deliveries to Kiev, saying they would lead to further escalation of the conflict.
