speaking ahead of a crucial nato summit next week, mr zelensky said it was very difficult to fight russia without them. translation: if you are defending your land and you cannot reach - the appropriate distance to destroy your enemy, then the enemy has the distance advantage. that is why it s important to have long range weapons. we are talking about it for a long time with the us and other partners. today, we have some long range projectiles and artillery system equipment delivered to us. gordon corera explained a little earlier. there is expectation of a package out of washington today, including cluster munitions, not confirmed yet. and those cluster munitions are controversial. they effectively drop tiny
long-range missiles or those f-16 fighter jets that ukraine has asked for. do you think what president biden is sending ukraine right now, what the united states is sending is enough? well, the united states has already sent quite a lot of equipment. just like many other allies and partners, poland is one of the first was one of the first to send our tanks, our artillery systems. so, of course, we welcome very much this system to send additional equipment. the more western technologies and the better equipment ukraine has, the sooner we will bring back the peace and stability, and the end to this war. of course, we ve heard what other plans of the americans. as for now, the artillery system, the aircraft systems are very much needed. the munitions to those rockets, of course though those systems. this is what s very much needed now. of course, as diplomats, we will
