news met the president in Kyiv early on Thursday afternoon, together with a small group of journalists from the Nordic countries. – They are our Nordic veins. We feel that in this war.

It is very important to have control over the airspace. We cannot leave the airspace in Russia’s hands. Based on this, he announced that Ukraine was going to ask for more combat aircraft from allies. When asked by news if he thinks Norway has a special responsibility to support Ukraine because Norway has spent a lot of money on high energy prices as a result of the war, Zelenskyj answers as follows: – It is very difficult to say. I don’t think that way. Norway supports our position, supports with weapons and with money. If the country has ignited more, then they have done it. It also makes it possible to support us more. I am very grateful for the Norwegian support. Conducted under strict secrecy At the end of the large table in a palace room with gold coating on the walls, Zelenskyj spoke to the journalists for a full two hours. The window was covered with sandbags. The entire quarter was blocked off. During the meeting, which was held under strict secrecy, he also talked about how the war had affected him personally. – I am very critical of myself. Every single day I think about whether there is anything I could have done differently. – I know many of those who have been killed. Zelenskyj says in the interview that the governance of the country has taken a toll on his family life.

But the job has cost him dearly. He said that it is “not possible” to combine everyday life as a family man and head of state in wartime. Together with his wife Olena Zelenska, he has a ten-year-old son and an 18-year-old daughter. – I’m not the best father. I don’t have enough time for my family. It’s a shame and sad. – My children are not raised by me, but by my wife and the war. Zelenska’s newest post on Instagram is a picture of her and her husband, which was posted in January. This is the entire post from January on Zelenska’s Instagram profile. – I often get questions about how you have changed in the last year. I always answer: “He hasn’t changed. He is the same guy I met when we were 17.” – But actually something has changed: you smile much less now, as you do in this picture. I wish you more reasons to smile. The Nato chief: – Has the military capacity it needs At the same time as the meeting was taking place, Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg declared that almost all the combat vehicles that the defense alliance has promised to give to Ukraine have been delivered. – Ukraine now has the military capacity it needs to take back territory, he told a press briefing together with the Prime Minister in Luxemburg.

Ukrainian soldiers are still telling the BBC that they are “running out of weapons” at the front, and that they are being asked by their superiors to ration ammunition.
