PARIS, France - - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said during a news conference at a British military facility that his battlefield priorities are for Ukraine to obtain more armored vehicles, longer-range missiles and fighter jets.
''We have no way out. We have to stand firm. We need armored vehicles, we need tanks, we need fighter jets, and obviously, we spent a lot of time talking about this together'', said Zelensky, speaking alongside British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at Lulworth Camp in Dorset, England.
The Ukrainian president also confirmed he will meet with European Union leaders on Wednesday night and Thursday.
''Today and tomorrow we will be meeting with the EU leaders and discussing these issues and also longer-range missiles'', Zelensky said. ''I'm very grateful that Britain has finally heard us in that regard, and I do hope other countries will also hear us when it comes to longer-range missiles''.
''When we talk about the battlefield, what are our priorities - of course, armored vehicles. We know our enemy has got thousands of units armored vehicles, back from the Soviet Union heritage'', Zelensky added.
''And of course, NATO armored vehicles are the best, and yet there are only a few of them. When you only have 10 NATO armored vehicles against a thousand Soviet armored vehicles - well, what are the chances?'' he said.
