“It is critical that what we send in is what (Ukraine's President Volodymyr) Zelenskyy asks for. He knows what his military needs,” she said at a briefing in Madrid, as part of a week-long trip to visit Turkey, Spain and North Africa.
“That may become harder in the coming days and we'll have to find other ways to handle it,” she added without providing further details.
