President says speedy supply is essential to stop Russia dragging out the war
Volodymyr Zelenskiy has called for western weapons to be supplied more quickly as Russian forces continued attacks on positions across the frontline near the eastern cities of Bakhmut and Donetsk.
Speaking in his nightly address, the Ukrainian president said Russia was hoping to drag out the war, already heading for the one year mark, and exhaust his country’s ability to resist the invaders.
