BBC World Service - Newshour, Zelensky: We need US weapons aid or Russia wins war

Ukraine's president pleads for more weaponry to fend off Russian attacks

Ukraine's president pleads for more weaponry to fend off Russian attacks.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has pleaded for more weaponry, such as air defences and artillery, from his western allies to fend off Russian attacks. He has warned that if the US Congress continues to hold up a 62 billion dollar military aid package then Ukraine will lose its war against Russia.

Also in the programme: US officials say retaliation from Iran in response to Israeli strikes of its consulate could happen as soon as today; and we find how a long lost silent film featuring Hollywood  actress Clara Bow from the 1920s was rediscovered.
