Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday embraced the support of allies who have provided substantial new military aid and a path to joining NATO, even as he emphatically pushed for the help to arrive faster and for restrictions to be lifted on the use of U.S. weapons to attack military targets inside Russia.
“If we want to win, if we want to prevail, if we want to save our country and to defend it, we need to lift all the limitations,” Zelenskyy said alongside NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg in the final hours of a summit that saw Ukraine receive fresh commitments of weapons and other support to firm up its defense against Russia.
The summit unfolded against the backdrop of a tumultuous American political cycle, with mounting angst among Democrats about President Joe Biden’s ability to serve another four years following a shocking debate flop two weeks ago that threw the future of his presidency into doubt.
乌克兰总统泽连斯基周四欢迎盟友的支持，这些盟友提供了大量新的军事援助和铺平加入北约的道路，同时他强烈要求加快援助到达，并取消对使用美国武器攻击俄罗斯境内军事目标的限制。
在峰会的最后几个小时泽连斯基在北约秘书长斯托尔滕贝格在场时说道，“如果我们想赢，如果我们想获胜，如果我们想拯救我们的国家并保卫它，我们就需要取消所有限制。”在峰会上，乌克兰获得了新的武器和其他支持承诺，以加强其对俄罗斯的防御。
此次峰会在美国政治周期动荡的背景下举行，两周前拜登总统在辩论中令人震惊的失败让人们对他的总统任期前景产生怀疑，民主党人对拜登总统能否再任四年感到越来越焦虑。
