Ukrainians have questions
On the anniversary of Putin's aggression, however, the uncertainty and irritation in Kiev were masked. Ukrainians wanted to know why Western sanctions against Russia were not in place and why Moscow continued to buy components for its missiles from Western companies. Why should Ukrainians continue to ask for weapons? and why the US is not pushing forward with a new critical aid package for Ukraine.
“We are very grateful for the support of the USA, but unfortunately, when I turn to the Democrats for support, they tell me to go to the Republicans, and the Republicans tell me to go to the Democrats,” Ukrainian MP Oleksandra Ustinova said. on Saturday at a separate conference in Kyiv. “We are grateful for the European support, but we cannot win without the US, we need air defense supplies and continued assistance.”
“Why don't you give us what we ask for?” Our priorities are air defense and missiles. We need long-range missiles,” Ustinova added.
US Congressman Jim Costa explained to the conference that Americans and even members of Congress still need to be educated about how the war in Ukraine affects them and why a victory for Ukraine is in America's best interest.
“I think we should, and that's why we will decide on an additional aid package for Ukraine. It is difficult and unattractive. But I think the US response over the next few weeks will be a beacon to keep us safe and secure. democratic values,” said Costa.
The West is afraid of Russia, Oleksiy Danilov, Secretary of the Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, said at a conference on Saturday.
“The West does not know what to do with Russia, therefore it does not allow us to win. Russians constantly blackmail and terrorize the West. However, if you are afraid of a dog, it will bite you,” he said.
“And now you are losing not only to autocratic Russia, but also to the autocracies of the rest of the world,” Danilov added.
