Former NATO Secretary-General Anders Rasmussen has joined a growing chorus of voices calling for the United States and its European allies to furnish Ukraine with more advanced weapons systems to help it combat a Russian missile onslaught on its energy and other infrastructure systems as winter sets in. "I don't understand why we have imposed those restrictions on our weapon deliveries that prevent the Ukrainians from doing all they could to retake lost land, so that's why I'm in Washington right now to urge the Americans to lift all the self-imposed restrictions on weapons deliveries," Rasmussen told Voice of America in a recent interview.
