Ukraine's Zelenskiy issues fresh plea for Patriots, EU accession, NATO entry
KYIV - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy issued a fresh plea to the international community to hurry up and deliver more air defences, start formal talks for his country to enter the European Union, and invite Ukraine to join NATO.
"We are still waiting for the supplies Ukraine was promised," he said in his nightly video address on Sunday. "We are expecting those volumes and scope that can change the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine's interests." Ukraine, which has received strong support from most European nations since Russia launched a full-scale invasion of its territory two years ago, is a candidate to join the 27-member European Union, but the process will take years.
