Zelensky: 'We Will Retreat Without Western Support'

The military assistance provided to Ukraine by the West is being reduced, and Ukraine's armed forces will retreat if it is stopped, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a meeting with journalists, as reported by Bloomberg.

“Right now, I am focused on obtaining assistance from the West. Their attention is shifting to the Middle East and for other reasons. Without support, we will retreat,” he stated.

Zelensky mentioned that Israel is receiving 155 mm caliber shells, which the Ukrainian army needs most to wage war against the Palestinian Hamas movement. Additionally, the European Union has admitted that it will not be able to fulfill its previous promise to supply Ukraine with one million shells by March 2024.
