Ukraine is waiting for missiles while the US sends them to the Middle East – Zelensky

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russian leader Vladimir Putin of seeking to retain his personal grip on power indefinitely and pass on his imperialist and fascist views to future generations.

According to TodayPress TV, Zelensky made the remarks during a speech as part of his visit to Denmark.

“Putin wants to hold on to his personal power forever and pass on his imperialist, in many ways simply fascist, views to the next generations,” the Ukrainian leader said.

In his speech, Zelensky also addressed Ukraine's difficulties with air defence systems. He stressed that the United States' decision to redirect missiles to the Middle East was affecting Ukraine's defence capabilities.

“Missiles are going to the Middle East, while we are left with empty Patriot systems and Russian ballistic missiles, which we are unable to intercept in most cases,” Zelensky noted.
