Quote: "Today [19 December - ed.] I addressed the leaders of the ten states of Northern Europe united in The Joint Expeditionary Force. This is a format of cooperation initiated by Great Britain. It includes the Baltic States, Finland, Scandinavian countries, the Netherlands, Iceland and the United Kingdom itself. And my appeal today was very specific. Weapons, ammunition, new defence capabilities… Everything that allows us to speed up the end of this war. Thank you 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."
Details: According to Zelenskyy, the key task of the Ukrainian authorities, diplomats, and officials is that world support for Ukraine next year not just remains at the same level as this year, but increases. Precisely under those indicators that are necessary to strengthen Ukraine’s defence operations.
"This is artillery, we need more guns, shells, these are modern tanks that have not yet been delivered to Ukraine, these are longer-range MLRS, modern and truly effective air defence…" the President listed.
Background: It was previously reported that on 19 December, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak would visit the summit of the military group of 10 countries in Latvia, where Zelenskyy will address.
