President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a telephone conversation with Joe Biden, during which the Ukrainian leader raised the issue of sanctions and weapons. It is reported by CNN citing sources among Ukrainian officials.

According to the TV channel, statements were made publicly that Ukraine is grateful to the States for their support of territorial integrity and sovereignty, but behind the scenes there were disagreements over the issue of sanctions and the supply of weapons.

It is argued that the sanctions that the United States will impose in the event of a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine have already been taken into account in the Kremlin, so they will not be as effective. Therefore, the Ukrainian side wants to see anticipatory sanctions introduced before the new military operation.

Ukraine has requested more weapons from the United States so that they arrive in the country as soon as possible. Russia may launch a new invasion as early as next yearand shipments from the US still haven’t arrived.

Recall that among the topics discussed by Zelensky and Biden was the topic joining NATO, sanctions against the Russian Federation and “Nord Stream-2”… In particular, the US President said that only Ukraine and the Ukrainian people have the right to decide whether to join NATO or not.

After talking with Biden Zelensky posted a photo on Instagram, signing it “Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine”.
