Russia's war against Ukraine war 'may end much sooner than many in the world think', President Volodomyr Zelensky has said.
In his daily video address, the Ukrainian leader said that the "victory of freedom" can be hastened "if Ukraine simply receives the weapons" it has "repeatedly asked for from the West". Mr Zelesnky said: "Any delay in providing such weapons to Ukraine, any excuses can mean only one thing: the relevant politicians want to help the Russian leadership more than us Ukrainians."
The speech was released after President Zelensky met with President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell in Kyiv. All three opined that Ukraine was fighting Russian "for all of us" in Europe.
