Ukrainian leader

Volodymyr Zelenskyy

said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine needed new weapons to speed up the end of the war.

He told about this in his daily video address to the Ukrainian people.

In particular, he noted that he addressed the leaders of the ten states of Northern Europe united in The Joint Expeditionary Force.

This is a cooperation format initiated by Great Britain.

It includes the Baltic states, Finland, Scandinavian countries, the Netherlands, Iceland and, actually, the United Kingdom.

"My appeal today was very specific.

Weapons, ammunition, new defense capabilities... Everything that will allow us to speed up the end of this war.

Thanks to the participants of the summit for the fact that we were heard today - we are waiting for new decisions regarding the supply of new weapons.

The key task for all of us now – my task, and that of each of our diplomats and officials – is that world support for Ukraine next year not only remains at the same level as this year, but also increases.

Precisely according to those indicators that are necessary to strengthen our defense operations," Zelenskyy explained.

He added that more guns, shells, modern tanks, which have not yet been delivered to Ukraine, more long-range salvo fire systems, modern and truly effective anti-aircraft defense, etc. are needed.

"Please, if your opinion is heard in the mass media, if you support the state in the expert field, you too can help get everything that our defense forces need," urged the President of Ukraine.

The head of state emphasized that the most important thing is to speak for Ukraine with a single voice and defend the common interest: everything for the victory of Ukraine, everything to help our defense.
