Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to attend an EU summit in Brussels Thursday as the guest of honor where he will press allies to deliver fighter jets "as soon as possible" in the war against Russia.
Despite the contrast in formats, the Ukrainian president's demands were the same -- more weapons, especially fighter jets and longer-range missiles, and faster deliveries. Scholz said Germany and its partners had backed Ukraine "financially, with humanitarian aid and with weapons", adding: "We will continue to do so as long as necessary."As the one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion looms and Ukraine braces for a new Russian offensive in the east, Zelensky is pushing ever harder for friendly nations to send tanks, jets and missiles.
Speaking alongside Zelensky in front of a British tank, Sunak said that "nothing is off the table" for Ukraine -- including fighter-combat aircraft.
