Ukraine president tells world leaders in Munich to ‘hurry up’ before Putin gains military advantage
The west needs to speed up its support for Ukraine as Vladimir Putin will gain a military advantage unless arms deliveries arrive soon,has said in a video address to world leaders at a security conference in Munich.
But, speaking immediately afterwards, the German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, gave Zelenskiy an indirect rebuff, saying caution was better than hasty decisions and unity was better than going it alone. Scholz saidwas in uncharted territory and there was no blueprint for confronting a nuclear-armed aggressor, making it vital to avoid an unintended escalation, requiring carefully weighed decisions.
Scholz said Putin had never expected that the UN general assembly would vote against his war of aggression. The chancellor added he was sure that in his own country there was broad support. He said it was vital to take every step in conjunction with the US, adding that his defence ministry and industry were working to ensure German-made Leopard tanks reachedZelenskiy, taking up the theme of the conference, David on the Dnipro, said his country had the courage to defeat Goliath with a slingshot.
