Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has stated that the end of the ongoing war with Russia is contingent on the 'resolve' of Kyiv's Western allies to supply needed weaponry and permissions.

In his nightly video address, Zelenskiy expressed gratitude to his military for a recent strike on a Russian arsenal and underscored the critical nature of his upcoming visit to the United States. The meetings aim to ensure Ukraine's defense capabilities are up to par.
