Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked his armed forces and western allies for their continued support against the 112-day Russian onslaught. In a video speech during the night, he praised the Ukrainian army's combat morale. This would have proved that courage and wisdom on the battlefield - coupled with the ability to tactically outmaneuver the enemy - could achieve remarkable results.
Zelenskyy said that he fights every day to ensure that Ukraine receives the necessary weapons from abroad to overcome the military advantage of the Russians. On Wednesday alone, he called US President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson again. He also met the heads of government from Albania and Montenegro, Edi Rama and Dritan Abazović. After the meeting of the US-led Ukraine contact group on Wednesday, he saw the signal that arms deliveries from the West would be stabilized, Zelenskyj said.
