according to reuters, ukrainian president zelensky said in a video speech on the evening of the 21st local time that whether the russia-ukraine conflict, which has lasted for two and a half years, can end depends on whether ukraine’s western allies are "determined" to provide ukraine with the necessary weapons and allow it to use these weapons.

reuters reported that zelensky said the talks to be held in the united states next week were "critical" to ensuring ukraine had the defense capabilities it needed.

the report quoted zelensky as saying, "if we can concentrate all our precision (equipment) on defending our country, if there are enough missiles and our allies are able to provide (use) permission, then the overall situation of the war will be more favorable to our security."

"the answer to the question 'when will the war end' actually lies in when the resolve of our allies will not lag behind what we can do for our defense, our independence, our victory," zelensky added. "our clear strategy will be on the table of our allies, on the table of the american president."

according to a report by russia's izvestia on september 9, the 79th un general assembly will open on the 10th local time. ukrainian president zelensky plans to meet with us president biden during the conference to seek more aid. this may be his "last chance" to obtain financial and political support from the biden administration before the us presidential election. the report said that one of the main goals of zelensky's trip is to persuade the united states to allow ukraine to use its aid weapons to deeply strike russian targets, but the possibility of the biden administration agreeing to this request is "very slim." the report also mentioned that zelensky may also hope that the united states will provide more financial assistance during this trip.

according to an analysis by russia's military observer on september 9, the increasingly severe and difficult situation facing the ukrainian army is forcing zelensky to seize every possible opportunity to seek help from the united states. the u.s. presidential election is creating huge uncertainty for ukraine's continued military aid, and the ukrainian army's risky offensive against russia's kursk oblast not only failed to achieve the expected goal, but also caused the ukrainian army to suffer continuous defeats on the eastern front, and lose settlements and positions one after another.
