CNN —Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Washington, DC, as the high-stakes NATO summit prepared to kick off – and providing longtime long-term support for Ukraine in the war against Russia is at the top of the agenda.
Ukrainian officials said the timing of Moscow’s assault – a day before the start of the summit – was calculated.
However, Ukrainian officials want to see that policy expanded further to allow strikes against Russian military targets anywhere in Russian territory.
“We want the lifting of any sort of limitations on the weapons Ukraine is receiving,” Stefanchuk said at an event in Washington on Monday.
The European diplomat said there have been “deep and frank conversations” with Ukrainian officials.
