Zelenskiy says Ukraine needs more arms to stop Russian advances

Prices at the Pumps - May 8, 2024 #saltwire #pricesatthepumps #gaspricesKYIV - President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Thursday that Ukraine could stop Russian forces advancing in the east if allied countries increased the supply of arms.

"We are putting maximum pressure on our partners to increase weapon deliveries," Zelenskiy said at an open air briefing in the centre of the capital. As he spoke, air raid sirens started to blare, a reminder of the threat of Russian missile and drone attacks which have intensified across the country, causing power outages for hundreds of thousands of civilians.

Ukrainian troops withdrew from three eastern villages in late April, and Ukraine's top commander has said the situation at the front had worsened.
