Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged European leaders to speed up weapons delivery and open EU membership talks with Ukraine this year, in a highly symbolic visit to Brussels, where he said Russia was trying to annihilate “the Ukrainian-European way of life”.
Addressing the EU’s 27 leaders in person for the first time since the Russian invasion last February, Zelenskiy warned that his services had intercepted a plan from Russian intelligence to destroy Moldova. The intercepted document “shows who, when and how was going to break the democracy of Moldova and establish control over Moldova,” Zelenskiy said, adding that he had immediately warned Moldova’s president Maia Sandu. His claim could not be independently verified.
