Ukraine Urges U.S. To Provide ‘Fire Parity’ With Russia As Struggle In East Worsens

Ukraine’s top general has told his U.S. counterpart that his country desperately needs “fire parity” with Russia to “stabilize” the difficult situation in the east, where Kyiv’s forces have suffered setbacks against Moscow’s troops backed by powerful artillery bombardments.

“We discussed the operational situation and the delivery flow of international technical assistance,” General Valeriy Zaluzhniy wrote in an online posting after holding a phone call on June 24 with General Mark Milley, the U.S. chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Kyiv has received billions of dollars in aid from its Western partners since Moscow’s unprovoked invasion began on February 24.
