In recent weeks, the Russian army has stepped up attacks on Ukrainian energy and other infrastructure.It is difficult for the Ukrainian army to make progress. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an articleInterview published on the 29thChina said that if it does not receive the military assistance promised by the United States, the Ukrainian army will have to withdraw “step by step”.

The U.S. aid package to Ukraine is stuck in Congress due to differences of opinion.
In an interview with the Washington Post, Zelensky said: “Without U.S. support, it means we have no air defense, no Patriot missiles, no electronic warfare jammers, no 155 mm shells.”
“This means we have to go back, to retreat, step by step, bit by bit… We are trying to find a way to avoid retreating.”
He also said that the shortage of ammunition means “you have to use it sparingly. How to do it? Fall back, of course. Shorten the front line. If the front line collapses, the Russians may enter the big cities.”
Reuters reported that Democratic U.S. President Joe Biden has called on the Republican-controlled House of Representatives to pass a military and financial aid package, but House Speaker Mike Johnson has shelved the package for months, citing domestic priorities. Zelensky told Johnson & Johnson on the phone on the 28th that it was crucial to pass this plan.
The Russian army captured the eastern Ukrainian town of Avdiivka last month and later achieved some modest results, but the front line has remained almost unchanged for months. Zelensky said the government intends to continue attacking targets in Russia, including oil refineries.
He said that the U.S. response to this wave of attacks in Ukraine was “not positive,” but Ukraine used its own drones. “We use our own drones. No one can deny our use… If there is no air defense To protect our energy system, but the Russians came to attack, I want to ask: Why can’t we fight back?”
Zelensky also said: “Their society has to learn to live without oil, without diesel, without electricity. If Russia stops, we will stop.”
