Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday called on the EU leaders, who had convened in Brussels, to step up arms deliveries for his country to be able to move faster than Russia, which invaded Ukraine a year ago. „We need artillery guns, ammunitions, modern tanks long-range missiles and modern jet-fighters”, Zelensky told the European leaders adding that a free Europe is not possible without a free Ukraine. He has also called on the EU leaders to support Kyiv’s peace plan and hold the Kremlin accountable. Zelensky has also asked for new sanctions against Moscow, which should focus, among other things, on the Russian defence industry. Earlier he had told the European MPs that the defence of the Ukrainian territory against the Russian invasion was the defence of Europe. The Ukrainian president is on a European tour, which also took him to London and Paris.
