At the same time, according to him, some of the supplies that Ukraine has already paid for have still not been approved.
We paid for the weapons. Some of the supplies were approved, but the rest were not. And this is not a technical issue
He also emphasized that he had proposed an agreement to Washington: Ukraine would not strike Russian diesel fuel, while the United States would provide Patriot missiles to protect Ukrainian facilities.
"But they simply want us to stop striking diesel fuel. And if we strike, they will cut us off from something," Zelenskyy said.
