he fighter jets and enough munition, the war could be over in the summer,” she told DW’s Ines Pohl in Washington. She doesn’t agree with the US government’s hesitation to allow other countries to sell jets to Ukraine out of fear of escalation. “They also said that about sending tanks, then they sent tanks, and nothing happened,” said Ustinova. The jets would also be crucial to shoot down drones and defend Ukraine’s airspace. She and her delegation are spending a week meeting with U.S. lawmakers from both parties to convince them to send these jets. Ustinova told DW that the recent leaks at the Pentagon have not hurt Ukraine given that crucial information, such as details about the spring offensive, were not leaked. “Only very few people know about these details,” she said. The bord member of the Anti-Corruption Center said that the accusation from US journalist Seymour Hersh that Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy is making deals with Russia is fake news. “But unfortunately, many people believe that, but this is just wrong. Why should Zelenskyy do that? Fake news,” said Ustinova.
