Why are Ukraine’s western allies divided over lifting all restrictions? | DW News

Officials from Ukraine have been holding talks in the US, where they’ve repeated their requests for stronger air defenses to combat Russia’s aerial bombardments. Kyiv wants permission to strike targets inside Russia using long-range weapons supplied by their western allies. Following a deadly Russian bomb attack in the city of Kharkiv, President Zelenskyy said Ukraine needed “strong decisions” from its partners.

  1. She is wrong. It is worth it. Ukraine must use all the tools in the box to its fullest. It is not this one system, but the combined effect of sanctions, and losses on the battlefield that will grind the Russians to a holt. Their economy are being destroyed, and their arsenal of weapons are being depleted.

  7. Perhaps ask Russia for a cease fire and to commence peace negotiations, before escalating. Ukraine fights for all of us. There is no fairness in war. We must do everything we can to end this war

  11. The cause and foundation of the problem is italy and France Paris,Rome,Napolitano,Napoli,America, Rome,Taranto,Torino,Sardinia,,';;;;,*

  18. They probably ban long-range missiles because they don't have many.. easier to "ban"and come up with reasons why they "banned"them then to come out and admit that Russia has more of anything lol

  20. There are lot of rich countries outside of NATO. I think what UKRAINE needs is better leadership who can use their resources to uplift their well being

  22. Those EU country that said no will pay heavy price when Ukraine falls to Russia. This will end bloody Ukraine losing the long war. Europe is not united in ending this war ASAP. I think theyre too comfortable in their own situation and doesnt see the bigger picture. Everytime Putin invades he will continue Nuclear Rethorics.
