Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky today told G7 leaders he wanted Russia's war in Ukraine ended by the end of the year before the winter sets in.
Zelensky also asked for anti-aircraft defence systems, more sanctions on Russia and security guarantees as he addressed leaders at the G7 summit, a European official said.
Addressing the summit in the Bavarian Alps via video link, Zelenskiy also asked for help to export grain from Ukraine and for reconstruction aid, the European official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Zelenskiy addressed the leaders of Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States by video link on Monday, the second day of the three-day G7 summit in southern Germany.
