Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized the urgent need for military assistance from allies amid ongoing threats from Russia, asserting that delays negatively impact Ukraine's defense efforts. He is set to visit the U.S. to further discuss support, while NATO plans to establish a command in Germany for coordinating military aid. Concurrently, Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian will attend a BRICS summit in Russia, amidst U.S. concerns over potential Iranian ballistic missile deliveries to Russia for use in Ukraine. Zelensky expressed frustration over constraints on the use of Western weaponry against Russian targets, urging partners to provide long-range capabilities. The situation remains tense, as Russian President Putin warns of potential conflict with NATO if such weapons are deployed. Despite some support from allies, Zelensky insists that more decisive actions are necessary for Ukraine's defense.
