The President of Ukraine said that part of the US military aid for 2024 is still on its way. The situation in eastern Ukraine is difficult due to the significant concentration of Russian troops.
The situation in the east is complicated, and there is the largest number of Russian troops there. Ukraine had a big problem with the delay in the delivery of military aid from the United States, and last year's aid is still on the way. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, UNN reports.
In the east, we have a difficult situation, and there are the most troops there, and maybe the best trained, but there are more Russian troops there. In the east. They are pressing, pressing every day. It is very difficult there. In other areas, the Russians have failed
The President reminded that Ukraine had a major problem with the delay in the delivery of military aid.
"First it was the vote of the Congress, then there were long deliveries, and even now those deliveries of last year are still on the way," Zelensky said.
