Biden to meet allies in Poland but has no plans to cross into neighbouring Ukraine, White House says
“The situation is very complicated. And we are fighting. We are breaking down the invaders and inflicting extraordinarily significant losses on Russia,” Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address.
Ukraine’s general staff on Monday said its forces “repelled Russian attacks in the areas of the Hrianykivka village”, but that the Russians continued to heavily shell the area with artillery. Biden last month said “no” when asked if he would approve Ukraine’s request for Lockheed-Martin-made F-16s.But administration officials, speaking on Sunday, said the US should focus on providing weapons that can be used immediately on the battlefield, rather than fighter jets that require extensive training.“Discussions will continue over the course of the next few weeks and months,” US ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield said on CNN.
Biden said last June that the US would set up a new permanent army headquarters in Poland in response to Russian threats. French president Emmanuel Macron suggested over the weekend that Russia should be “defeated but not crushed” and that the conflict in Ukraine would have to be settled by negotiations, although there is presently no prospect of peace talks.Responding to the remarks, Zelenskiy said in an interview published on Sunday that Macron was wasting his time considering any sort of dialogue with Russia. The two presidents spoke by telephone on Sunday.
