00:30. Zelensky: Western aid is not enough to equip “even four of the 14” brigades
Ukraine has not received enough military aid from foreign partners to equip “even four of the 14” Ukrainian brigades that “should be ready” for the country, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with CNN.
Zelensky did not specify what the 14 brigades would be used for or where they would be sent.
He also defended the Ukrainian military command’s decision to launch an advance in the Kursk region to divert Russian troops there, rather than keeping Ukrainian forces east towards Pokrovsk, where the Russian army has been making relatively rapid territorial gains in recent weeks.
As he put it, it doesn’t matter how many brigades defend the East if “half of them are not equipped.” Specifically, he claimed that they lacked armored vehicles and artillery shells because Russian forces fired 12 times more shells than Ukrainian troops.
