Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s “main” plea when he meets with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin on Sunday will be for more arms, Ukraine officials said.

“First and foremost is the delivery of weapons,” said Igor Zhovkva, a top diplomatic adviser to Zelensky, to NBC’s Kirsten Welker.

“We really need armored vehicles. We really need artillery systems … We need tanks in order to defend ourselves on the ground, in order to unblock such cities as Mariupol, in order to withstand the potential offensive of Russian armed forces in the Donbas,” the official said.

“That’s what we need immediately. That’s what we need now. And that’s what we need in bigger quantities,” Zhovkva said. “The main subject of the discussion with the two distinguished guests will be delivery of weapons.”

Why doesn’t Zelensky plead for a diplomatic solution to this?

Really, why doesn’t he?

Ze is delusional due to his addictions. He can forget about Mariupol now that blood has been shed to defeat AZOV. He doesn’t have the manpower, training, mobility or airforce. His economy has contracted by 40% and he’s minus 5 million citizens due to forced conscription. Ukrainian forces have yet to mount a single successful counteroffensive but he’s going to win a three front assault through 80 km of Russian territory to recapture Mariupol. He a comedian true to his vocation.

That’s right. People get up at 4:00 AM, trudge to the salt mines every day so The Rubio of Ukraine can keep himself solvent.

I presume that he is asking to buy weapons at a fair wartime price like twice the cost of making their replacements.
