Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to lobby EU leaders for weapons

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was invited to lobby European leaders on Thursday for more weapons in the fight against Russia and a quick start to EU membership talks for his country.

In addition to attending an EU summit, Zelenskyy was due to address the European Parliament during his visit to the Belgian capital, the third stop on a European trip.

The Ukrainian leader is unlikely to secure immediate pledges to meet his requests, but he has the chance to make his case in person with the EU's 27 national leaders for the first time since Russia's invasion nearly a year ago on February 24, 2022.
