Briefing: Kyiv calls on Belarus to pull back forcesBritish man on Reuters staff killed in Ukraine
The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has issued another plea to western partners to step up their assistance, after Russian launched what he described as “one of the largest attacks – a combined strike, involving over a hundred missiles of various types and around a hundred ‘Shaheds.’”
“Across Ukraine, we could do much more to protect lives if the aviation of our European neighbors operated in concert with our F-16s and air defense systems. If such unity has proven effective in the Middle East, it must work in Europe too,” the Ukrainian leader stressed.
