But Zelensky’s appeal, delivered at a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group at a U.S. military base in western Germany, yielded little apparent progress as its chief military backer, the United States, signaled no immediate change to its restrictions on the use of longer-range U.S.-made arms like the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS).
