President Zelensky ending the year as he began it, desperate pleas for more weapons, combat aircraft for Ukraine Wings for freedom. We have to put even more pressure so that the aggressor weakens faster when the free world hesitates. That's when Dictatorships celebrate and it wasn't just about the quantity of weapons he warned in January, but the speed of delivery, Russia hopes to drag out the war to exhaust our forces. So we have to make time or weapon. We must speed up the events speed up. The supply warning went unheeded. We gave *** lot of time for Russians. We gave *** lot of time to prepare to, to put the mines in the mines on the fields. Ukraine's long awaited spring counter offensive eventually started in June. By which time Russia had dug in, there were days when Ukrainian soldiers would crawl 200 m per day crawl just physically demining, uh, the path territorial gains on both sides this year, minimal, Ukraine scraping together *** string of villages on the southern and eastern front.

What is the end game in Ukraine? Now, another war tested their resolve these days. Our attention is focused on the Middle East. No one can ever forget what the terrorists did in Israel. Ukraine is innovating fast sea drones, new attack and reconnaissance drones, electronic warfare and yet ingenuity is not enough we need to be ready to defend, not to go counter offensive but to defend again because with the numbers of the weapons in munition and we are getting, that's the only thing we can do at the moment along hundreds of miles of front lines. Ukraine's drone operators know all too well what it's like to go it alone *** fate. Ukraine is desperate to avoid Clare. Sebastian CNN London.

Limited cease-fires have occasionally been proposed since Russia launched its full-scale war in February 2022 but have never taken hold.

Both sides are scrambling to replenish their weapons after 22 months of fighting and are facing the prospect of a protracted conflict. With the roughly 1,500-kilometer (930-mile) front line mostly static during winter, they both require artillery shells, missiles and drones that enable long-range strikes.

Zelenskyy said Moscow is receiving artillery shells and missiles from North Korea and drones from Iran. On Jan. 4, the White House cited U.S. intelligence officials as saying that Russia acquired ballistic missiles from North Korea and is seeking them from Iran.

Zelenskyy was in the Estonian capital of Tallinn as part of a two-day swing through Baltic countries, which have been among Ukraine바카라 게임 웹사이트�s staunchest supporters.

He met with Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, who gave him a shirt with the Estonian word 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Kaitsetahe바카라 게임 웹사이트� 바카라 게임 웹사이트� 바카라 게임 웹사이트�The will to defend바카라 게임 웹사이트� 바카라 게임 웹사이트� printed on the front, which Zelenskyy wore as he addressed parliament.

Zelenskyy said he and Kallas also discussed Ukrainians who fled to Estonia when the war began, telling a news conference that any of them who are of draft age "need to help Ukraine and be in Ukraine.바카라 게임 웹사이트�

His comments came as lawmakers in Kyiv returned a draft law on mobilization to the government for amendments, saying it might contain human rights violations, among other concerns, officials said.

The draft law aims to impose restrictions on citizens who have evaded mobilization duties, as Ukraine grapples with shortages of military personnel.

Zelenskyy said last month that Ukraine's military wants to mobilize up to 500,000 more troops, but he said he had asked the brass to spell out the details on what is 바카라 게임 웹사이트�a very sensitive matter바카라 게임 웹사이트� before deciding whether to grant their wish.

바카라 게임 웹사이트�Ukraine needs more, it needs better weapons," President Alar Karis said during a news conference with Zelenskyy at the Presidential Palace.

European Union countries have so far provided 85 billion euros ($93 billion) of support for Ukraine, Karis said. But the support has slowed, alarming Ukrainians who would find it hard to stand alone against their bigger neighbor.
