The Kremlin claims President Zelensky is displaying "hysteria."
Ukraine seeks additional support from the West in their struggle against Russia's aggression. The Russian government dismisses these pleas. Receiving weapons from the US wouldn't make a significant difference in any case.
Russian officials have branded Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's requests for Western assistance to combat Russia's onslaught as hysterical. "Recently, various representatives of the Kiev regime, including Zelenskyi himself, have made a series of outbursts," stated Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, citing Ukraine's severe predicament as the reason.
For over two years, Ukraine has been battling Russia's military onslaught. In recent months, Kiev has been struggling defensively due to an insufficient supply of weapons from the West. Within the past week, Russia launched another ground offensive in the Kharkiv area in northeastern Ukraine, aiming to overstretch the weakened defense lines. Since the beginning of this year, Russia has captured several hundred square kilometers of Ukrainian territory.
Most recently, Russia proclaimed the capture of one of the last Ukrainian-held villages in the Luhansk region in eastern Ukraine, which Moscow had previously declared annexed. As a result of the clashes, "the troops of the South group of forces have fully liberated the village of Bilohorivka in the Luhansk People's Republic and established more advantageous positions," the Russian Ministry of Defense stated. Previously inhabited by around 800 individuals, Bilohorivka was a symbol of Ukrainian resistance in the Luhansk region.
According to Peskov, even if the US commences delivering arms, the course of the conflict would remain unchanged. "This conclusion is becoming increasingly widespread, and of course, this doesn't contribute to stability and equilibrium in statements from the Kiev regime," he remarked. The Russian government refers to the Ukrainian leadership as a "regime" to undermine its legitimacy and rationalize its violent conflict with its neighboring state.

Despite Russia's dismissal of Ukraine's pleas for aid, Volodymyr Selensky, the Ukrainian President, continues to plea for stronger support against the ongoing 'Attack on Ukraine' by Russia. This attack has seen Russia capture several hundred square kilometers of Ukrainian territory, including the last Ukrainian-held village in the Luhansk region.
