Moscow accuses the United States of getting “directly” into the conflict

Ukraine and its Western allies are engaged in “fast-track” talks on the possibility of equipping the invaded country with long-range missiles and military aircraft, a Ukrainian presidential aide said on Saturday.

Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to President Volodymyr Zelensky, said Ukraine supporters in the West “understand how the war is unfolding” and the need to provide fighter jets to provide air cover for armored fighting vehicles that the United States and Germany they promised to deliver weeks ago.

However, speaking to the Freedom online video channel, Podolyak claimed that some of Ukraine’s Western partners maintain a “conservative” attitude towards arms deliveries “due to fear of changes in the international architecture.”
