Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy planned to give the opening address Friday at a major annual conference on international security policy, where Russia's invasion of Ukraine was expected to dominate the event after almost a year of war that has produced worldwide repercussions.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Western allies Friday to quicken their military support for Ukraine, warning at a major international security conference that delays would play into Russia's hand as the invasion approaches its first anniversary.
Zelenskyy vowed that his country would ultimately prevail over Moscow's aggression but warned that Russia "can still destroy many lives."Zelenskyy portrays Ukraine as defending Western values of freedom and democracy against tyranny and argues that his country needs to be properly provisioned to fend off Russia's much bigger force. Western countries have sided with him, but at times they have been slow to meet his requests.
Berlin agreed last month to deliver German-made Leopard battle tanks to Ukraine and grant others licenses to do the same. German officials, who faced heavy pressure to take that step, have since indicated that they're disappointed other countries haven't come along with more. German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said Russia's war in Ukraine would overshadow the proceedings. Western officials and analysts say the conflict is approaching a critical phase as it enters its second year next week.
