Zelensky Calls for More Weapons to Halt Russian Advances in Ukraine

Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament, visited Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, on 'Europe Day' and met with Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine. During this meeting, Mr. Zelensky highlighted Ukraine's need for more weapons to stop Russia's advances in the country. He told the President of the European Parliament that if Kyiv's allied countries increase their arms shipments, Ukraine can halt the advance of Russian forces in the east. He emphasized that he will exert maximum pressure on his partners to increase weapon deliveries so that, with increased arms from Europe, he can stop Russian forces in the east, where they are advancing. Since the beginning of this year, Russia has made small but steady gains by reducing the military capabilities of Ukrainian forces in the east. According to Reuters, during this meeting, the sounding of air raid sirens interrupted the speech, prompting Volodymyr Zelensky to remind Roberta Metsola of the threat of Russian missile and drone attacks. He remarked on Russia, saying, 'This is their (Russia's) real attitude towards peace.' Russia reported the destruction of missiles and drones fired from Ukraine; Cameron: 'We must be tougher and more decisive against Russia.' EU representatives agreed on the use of frozen Russian assets to assist Ukraine. How does Ukraine secure its electricity needs under Russian fire?
