00:00Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says the majority of his Western allies were supportive
00:06of his so-called victory plan.
00:08He said he got positive signals on the use of long-range missiles.
00:12However, he criticized the fact that some countries, including the U.S., the U.K. and
00:17France, wanted to coordinate their decisions with each other whether to give permission
00:22to use the missiles into Russian territory.
00:26Oleksandr Kornienko is the deputy spokesperson for the Ukrainian parliament.
00:30He said it has been a crucial factor for Ukraine since the start of the war.
00:34Because we ask for that even in 2022, because we all understand that one of the biggest
00:42and important, you know, part of stress to Russia, it's to stress to Russian military
00:52objects near Ukraine, close to Ukraine, but not close maybe, something far, and we do
01:00it right now with our, you know, creative solutions like using long-range drones and
01:09someone else.
01:10But, of course, if you talk about real serious part like military strategy of that, we need
01:16to use long-range artillery, of course.
01:19Meanwhile, Ukraine says Russia is attempting to beef up its forces by using 10,000 North
01:24Korean soldiers, escalating and widening the scope of the war.
01:29President Zelensky warned about this development in Brussels, where he outlined the victory
01:32plan with allies in the EU and NATO.
01:35So, we know about 10,000 soldiers of North Korea that they are preparing to send fight
01:45against us.
01:48This is really urgent thing, because Iran, they gave, you know, drones, licenses to produce
01:57these drones and missiles, yes, but not people, not officially, yes?
02:05And here we see this first step in this war, and this is the first step to a world war.
02:13Allies are yet to give official responses to the victory plan, which sources say it
02:19requires a major upgrade in military support.
02:23However, the majority of allies recognize that time is running out to help Ukraine win.
02:30Great.
02:32Thank you very much.
02:33Thank you very much.
