After tanks, fighter jets? Ukraine pushes NATO for more firepower; Russia lashes out at West

This is CNBC's live blog tracking developments on the war in Ukraine. See below for the latest updates.

"We have to unlock the supply of long-range missiles to Ukraine, it is important for us to expand our cooperation in artillery, we have to achieve the supply of aircraft to Ukraine. And this is a dream. And this is a task,"Ukraine has made no secret of the fact that it would like to receive fighter jets, such as the U.S.' F-16 fighter jets, from its allies to help it fight Russia.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed his gratitude to Kyiv's allies Wednesday, stating that the decision by the United States, Germany and Britain to send tanks to Ukraine was "historic." He said he had also spoken to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg yesterday and during that call he called for more assistance.

"The key thing now is speed and volume. The speed of training of our military, the speed of supplying tanks to Ukraine and the volume of tank support," he said.Training for Abrams tanks will take place outside of Ukraine, White House says U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price holds a press briefing on Afghanistan at the State Department in Washington, August 16, 2021.The State Department downplayed reports that Germany and the U.S. were at odds over whether to provide Ukraine with Leopard 2 and M1A1 Abrams tanks.

After Jets, training/coordinating manpower, then Troops. Why isn't the United Nations taking action on this invasion? We drove Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait.

FoxNews AWACs are also required to support battalions of Abrams Tanks. You'll hear about all the air support required, including Apaches soon. Just hold a summit and negotiate people, be closers for peace. Ukraine

FoxNews you can't have a battalion of Abrams without air support. It's a matter of time before Apache helicopters are involved. Why not push a summit with the powers, Russia, Ukraine, EU, U.S.? Can't people really harness true negotiating skills and work it out Ukraine

It is better to stop war , Zelenky always ask for weapon to fight . Instead of money for the poor .

Why don't yall just go and get dat dude and figure this out at that point. I guess it's not that easy.

How many Russian spies imbedded with Ukrainian troops?

You do know that those leopard 2 tanks are outdated? They are the first generation ones. Same for the Abrams and Challengers.

Just give them all thet want, to protect the evidence in the biden corruption from coming out. Because that's why Biden supports Zelenski.

NATO Countries and others plus their media must start a 'GET OUT OF UKRAINE' message towards Russia. Putin will do what is best and leave like he did from Afghanistan.

How about some nuclear weapons?

CV 19 didn't meet their goal of Depopulation. When all else fails they take you to war. They will be safely nestled in their bunkers

NATO is playing with fire , bilateral talk is the only way forward .
