RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany (AP) — Ukraine’s president has told U.S. and allied military leaders meeting in Germany that his country needs the ability to strike deep within Russia now. Ukraine is pressing the West to loosen weapons use restrictions and allow it to target Russian air bases and launch sites far from the border. Zelenskyy made the case during an in-person meeting Friday of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group at Ramstein Air Base in Germany. He appeared to make inroads with some of the defense leaders from the 50-plus partner nations who regularly gather to coordinate weapons aid for the war. Meanwhile, the U.S. says it will provide $250 million more in security assistance to Kyiv.
