Zelensky appeals for weapons ahead of G7 address

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has renewed calls for weapons ahead of his address to the G7 nations today.

Zelensky is expected to urge the seven wealthy nations to send more heavy arms to his country and to impose tougher sanctions on Russia.

Speaking in his daily late-night speech, he said any delay in the provision of weapons to Ukraine was “an invitation for Russia to strike again and again”.

“We need a powerful air defence – modern, fully effective,” he said.

“We talk about this every day with our partners. There are already some agreements. And partners need to move faster if they are really partners, not observers.

“Delays in the transfer of weapons to our state, any restrictions are actually an invitation for Russia to strike again and again.

“The occupiers – these terrorists – must be beaten with all our might so that they do not think they can put pressure and outplay someone.”
