President Zelensky Urges US and Europe to Defend Ukraine Against Russian Advances

As Russian forces continue their aggressive push into Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky has called upon the United States and Europe to provide increased support to defend his nation. Dismissing concerns of nuclear escalation, Zelensky proposed a plan for NATO planes to intercept Russian missiles in Ukrainian airspace.

Zelensky revealed that he has urged U.S. officials to permit Ukraine to use American missiles and other weaponry against military targets within Russia, despite the current opposition from the United States. He emphasized that this restriction provides Russia with a significant advantage in the ongoing cross-border conflict, particularly evident in the assaults on Ukraine’s northeast.

The situation remains critical as Ukrainian forces struggle to repel the relentless Russian advances. Zelensky's appeal for increased aid reflects the urgent need for international support to address the escalating crisis.
