Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, sharply criticizing the hesitation in granting Ukraine the use of long-range missiles, has said that the West is even afraid to raise the issue of helping Ukraine.
Tarz Press—Zelensky made these remarks on Friday, September 14, once again urging his Western allies to provide Kyiv with alternatives to counter Russian missiles. In this press conference, in response to the question: If your Western allies can shoot down offensive missiles over Israel's skies, why isn't there a similar decision to shoot down Russian missiles over Ukraine's skies? Zelensky said: They are even afraid to raise this discussion.
These critical remarks by Zelensky were likely in response to statements made by John Kirby, spokesperson for the White House National Security Council, who also said on Friday in a press briefing that the United States has no plans to lift the restrictions imposed on Ukraine regarding the use of long-range missiles.
