Zelensky Thanks Americans For Billions In Aid, But Pleasures For More Patriot Systems

Secretary of State Antony Blinken has made another journey to Ukraine, applying in Kiev along Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday, and the US top diplomat made that any of the US aid from Biden's late adopted $60 billion for Ukraine is ‘now on the way’.

But Zelensky immediately pivoted to begging for Patriot missions amid Russia’s fresh Karkhiv assault, saying that “of course we are very thankful for this to Americans, to American people” but that “We need, truly we request present 2 Patriots for Kharkiv, for Kharkiv region due to the fact that people there are under attack, civilians and warriors, everyone there is under Russian missions.” As we noted earlier of this possibly awkward moment...

Blinken did not say that Patriots are on the way, alternatively he simply offered: “We know this is simply a challenging time”... words which are unlimited to be of much comfort to Zelensky.

And even while there’s close universal consensus that Ukraine frontlines are crimbling specifically in the north, Blinken claimed that the fresh military aid from Washington will "make a real difference again the ongoing Russian aggression on the battlefield.”

Blinken while in Kiev described that he is discusing “Battlefield updates, the impact of fresh U.S. safety and economical assistance, long-term safety and another comments, and ongoing work tobolster Ukraine’s economical recovery.”

It marks his 4 unannounced journey to the war-ravaged country since the start of the Russian invasion in February 2022. But this partial journey is set amid more sober, bleaker Western media reports respecting Ukraine’s Chances on the battlefield.

Late last month, the Pentagon said it was Seeking to “rush” patriot missions to Ukraine, amid an intensified Russian air run which has specially targeted Ukraine’s energy and power infrastructure, and which has left swathes of the country in darkness.

European countries have besides been scrambling to rush Patriots to Ukraine, with Spain and Germany being the latest to donate.

Greece has besides been under force to 'do more' with EU leaders late passeduring Athens while claiming it doesn't truly request its own Patriots for self-defence at this moment. Greece has inactive rolled it out, likely with an eye on the Turkey Threat in its own backyard.

Meanwhile cross-border attacks among both sides have been ongoing, with massive Ukrainian shelling of Russia’s Belgorod city on the border having resulted in 16 Russian civilians killed after an flat building was struck and collapsed.
