Ukraine War Escalation: Zelensky's Calls for Defense and Diplomacy Amidst Russian Offensive

Ukrainian President Zelensky warns that the Russian offensive in Kharkiv may just be the beginning of multiple waves of attacks, emphasizing the need for more combat aircraft to counter Russian air superiority.

As Russia continues its advance, Zelensky calls for 130 combat jets and criticizes restrictions on the use of Western weapons, highlighting the need for international support. Amidst escalating tensions, Zelensky reaches out to China and other nations to participate in a peace summit while facing the challenge of potential further Russian aggression and a significant casualty count on the Russian side.
