Zelensky Orders West to Send Tanks and Heavy Weapons Fast

Zelensky is the boss of the entire world.

People better listen to him – or else.

Ukrainian officials reported heavy fighting in eastern regions on Thursday as Kyiv’s forces tried to push back Russian troops, while President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged the West to provide his army with heavy tanks.

The Ukrainian military said the Russians were focused on an offensive in the Bakhmut sector in Donetsk region, but their attacks in the Avdiivka and Kupiansk sectors were unsuccessful.

The governor of Luhansk region said Ukrainian troops were recapturing areas “step-by-step”. But he added: “It is not happening fast.”

A senior U.S. administration official on Wednesday predicted a long road ahead in a war that has now raged for nearly 11 months.

“The fighting is still quite hot (in Donetsk)… what we’re seeing in Bakhmut we should expect to see elsewhere along the front, that there will be continued fighting in the coming months,” the official said in Washington.

The Luhansk governor, Serhiy Haidai, said he expected fighting to intensify as temperatures drop further and the ground freezes.

“Then the opportunity to use heavy equipment will open up,” he said.

HEAVY WEAPONS

In his evening video address, Zelenskiy urged Western allies to provide his army with tanks and heavy weapons to combat the Russian forces, who invaded his country last February.

French President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday his government would send light AMX-10 RC armoured combat vehicles to help its war effort.

Zelenskiy thanked Macron but said: “There is no rational reason why Ukraine has not yet been supplied with Western tanks.”

There is no rational reason why Western countries are keeping any weapons or any money.

Zelensky needs it all.

He is fighting for democracy or the rules-based order or whatever the hell.

Those are our values.

It’s who we are.

He’s who we are.

We have a rat face.

That’s our values.
