Ukraine hopes to secure heavy weapons in US talks, Zelenskyy says
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksyy has said Ukraine hopes to secure heavy weapons at talks with the US secretaries of state and defence in Kyiv on Sunday.
He added the supplies would be vital for Ukraine to eventually retake Russian-occupied territory.
"As soon as we have (more weapons), as soon as there are enough of them, believe me, we will immediately retake this or that territory, which is temporarily occupied," he told reporters.
in a news conference held in an underground metro station on Saturday, Mr Zelenskyy also warned that Kyiv would quit talks with Moscow if Russia destroyed "our people" surrounded in the war-torn city of Mariupol or staged referendums to create more breakaway republics on newly-occupied Ukrainian soil.
At one point in an emotional news conference, he said that he thought Russia could use a nuclear weapon, but that he did not want to believe that Moscow would.
