KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine and its Western allies are engaged in “fast-track” talks on the possibility of equipping the invaded country with long-range missiles and military aircraft, a top Ukrainian presidential aide said Saturday.
Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said Ukraine’s supporters in the West “understand how the war is developing” and the need to supply planes capable of providing cover for the armored fighting vehicles that the United States and Germany pledged at the beginning of the month.
However, in remarks to online video channel Freedom, Podolyak said that some of Ukraine’s Western partners maintain a “conservative” attitude to arms deliveries, “due to fear of changes in the international architecture.” Russia and North Korea have accused the West of prolonging and taking a direct role in the war by sending Kyiv increasingly sophisticated weapons.
“We need to work with this. We must show (our partners) the real picture of this war,” Podolyak said, without naming specific countries. “We must speak reasonably and tell them, for example, ‘This and this will reduce fatalities, this will reduce the burden on infrastructure. This will reduce security threats to the European continent, this will keep the war localized.’ And we are doing it.”
The U.S. and Germany agreed Wednesday to share advanced tanks with Ukraine along with the Bradley and Marder vehicles promised earlier, a decision that led to criticism not only from the Kremlin but from the prime minister of NATO and European Union member Hungary.

So they can be sold to Iran and Pakistan.
As we slowly head into WWIII...
China waited until Obama was elected and installed, and moving quickly, by the end of 2009, had occupied and fortified all the disputed atolls and islands of the South China Sea.
They will do same here. Sit back, wait, and watch the West drain itself trying to diminish Russia.
It will then walk into Taiwan with ease. Expand its influence in SE Asia, etc. etc.
missiles, just great. These bastards are determined to get a world war going.
Damn War Rats need to be reined in.
nato can give them all that stuff. Russia can throw in a few nukes to seal the deal.
It is all part of the great reset.
Without spares, they’re not much use. Abrams tank takes a lot of maintenance.
Not so slowly in my opinion
The Military Industrial Complex is in a hurry to boost the bottom line.
I guess I should be investing in Raytheon
Remember when he said the missile that hit Poland was Russian and an Attack on NATO territory.....? but within hours, the leadership of the US, NATO, and Poland had all publicly stated that the explosion was caused by a Ukrainian anti-air missile.
Anything Zelensky or his staff says about something that would escalate the war is on purpose.... an he often does this when Ukraine military is failing....or the US isn't giving him what he wants and when.
NATO has a Prime Minister?
“It will then walk into Taiwan with ease.”’
You might be surprised to learn that Taiwan is an island. Walking there for any army would be very difficult.
Russia can donate missiles to China.
China can donate these to Cuba.
I think they are picking up the pace :(
Does anybody believe that with Ukraine troop casualties to date, there is anybody left they could train to fly F-16s in combat?
............
You might not to see this. China practicing landing on a small island next to Taiwan. Pretty impressive.
It isn’t impressive, it is a 40-second commercial.
