Situation on the battlefield and lifting restrictions on Western weapons: President spoke at a UK Government meeting

It is possible to stop any attempt by Russia to expand the war if restrictions on the use of Western weapons against the Russian military are lifted. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated this during a speech at a government meeting.

"As soon as we can strike further than just near the border, in particular on Russian military airfields, we will not only protect ourselves from any Russian offensive, but also protect our leading positions and cities from Russian bombs," the Head of State said. Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized that Russia uses about 3. 5 thousand managed aviation bombs a month. They cannot be knocked down, but all carriers can be destroyed.

“And I ask you to show this in this leadership and please convince other partners to remove the restrictions. We need this step - a step that will make Russia look for peace, ”he said. The President of Ukraine was the first among foreign leaders in the last 27 years at a government meeting. In 1997, US President Bill Clinton was able to contact British government officials in 1997.
