Zelensky: Partners started to understand Ukraine’s needs better
Ukrainian diplomats are working around the clock to speed up the delivery of weapons to Ukraine.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said this in his video address, Ukrinform reports.
“We are doing more than the maximum to ensure the supply of weapons to our army. Every day, all our diplomats, all our representatives and I personally work 24/7 through all possible channels - official and unofficial - to speed up the delivery of aid,” he said.
The head of state noted that Ukrainian partners started to understand Ukrainian needs better. “And I am very pleased to say, with cautious optimism, that our partners started to understand our needs better. Understand what exactly we need. And when exactly we need all this. Not in weeks, not in a month, but immediately. Right now, as Russia is trying to intensify its attacks,” Zelensky said.
Traditionally, before delivering his address, the President signed a decree on awarding Ukrainian defenders.
“203 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were awarded state awards, 49 of them posthumously,” Zelensky said.
On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the beginning of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian troops have been shelling and destroying key infrastructure facilities, conducting massive shelling of residential areas of Ukrainian cities and villages using artillery, multiple rocket launchers and ballistic missiles.
