Ukraine's president to ask G7 leaders for more arms after deadly Russian strikes | CBC News
They said they will continue to provide financial, humanitarian, military, diplomatic and legal support to Kyiv, and that they are committed to supporting Ukraine in meeting its "winter preparedness needs."
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy leads a meeting of the National Security and Defence Council in Kyiv on Sept. 30. Zelenskyy made several asks at a virtual G7 meeting on Tuesday, including more arms and an oil and gas price cap. Air raid warnings extended throughout the country in the morning, sending some residents back into shelters after months of relative calm in Kyiv and many other cities. The earlier lull had led many Ukrainians to ignore the regular sirens, but Monday's attacks in the capital and 12 other regions gave them new urgency.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov addressed the issue Tuesday, saying Moscow would only resort to that if the Russian state faced imminent destruction. Speaking on state TV, he accused the West of encouraging false speculation about the Kremlin's intentions. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg gives a news conference ahead of a two-day meeting of the alliance's defence ministers at the NATO headquarters in Brussels on Tuesday. The alliance will soon hold a long-planned nuclear readiness exercise.
Meanwhile, Russia's deputy foreign minister, Sergei Ryabkov, warned Tuesday that Western military assistance to Kyiv, including training Ukrainian soldiers in NATO countries and feeding Ukraine real-time satellite data to target Russian forces, has "increasingly drawn Western nations into the conflict on the part of the Kyiv regime."
