Ukrainian soldiers fighting to hold off a Russian push on the small eastern city of Bakhmut pleaded on Friday for more weapons from the outside world, as Western leaders met in Munich to assess the year-long war shaking Europe.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the conference it was “obvious” Ukraine would not be the last stop of President Vladimir Putin's invasion, and that it was vital the West did not delay arms deliveries to help repel Russian forces.

The Kremlin on Friday accused the US of inciting Ukraine to escalate the war by condoning attacks on Crimea, warning that Washington was now directly involved in the conflict because “crazy people” had dreams of defeating Russia. Russia asked the UN Security Council to seek an independent inquiry into September attacks on the Nord Stream gas pipelines, connecting Russia and Germany, according to a draft resolution seen by Reuters on Friday.The Russian mercenary company Wagner Group has suffered more than 30,000 casualties since Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24, with about 9,000 of those fighters killed in action, the White House said on Friday.
