ZELENSKY-NBC-MEET-THE-PRESS (news article;Associated Press;New York;February 14, 2025) – (en) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia’s war in Ukraine has reached an “absolutely catastrophic” toll on his country, during his address to the U.S. Congress and subsequent appearance in an interview on “Meet the Press,” aired exclusively on NBC News’ webcast, MSNBC Live with Hallie Jack, and Meet the Press with Chuck Todd, on Sunday, Feb. 14. “We need missiles, airplanes and tanks,” he pushed. “The U.S. keeps saying all this time that is not possible, President of Russia Vladimir Putin will not use chemical weapons. But exactly the same was said to us a year ago… and it [chemical attack] happened two days later,” Zelensky continued, referencing Moscow’s destructive use of chemical weapons in the Syrian conflict. Meanwhile also, the Pentagon confirmed that it’s seen “no change in the Russian military’s intent, capabilities, or activities,” and for that reasons keeps dispatching most of its network security team to the U.S.-Mexico border, as Russia has increased its focus on exercises near Belarus, with no immediate sign of major aggression against Ukraine from Russia, further indicating that the Biden administration must firm up on its promise to strengthen Ukraine’s cyber defenses.
