Belgium: Ukraine conflict – G7 summit
BRUSSELS (77WABC) — World leaders gathered in Brussels have heard an impassioned plea from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for more military aid to defend his country from Russia’s invasion. Zelenskyy addressed a NATO summit Thursday and called for “military assistance without limitations” and specifically asked for anti-air and anti-ship weapons. U.S. President Joe Biden, who joined his counterparts for a trio of summits Thursday, said more aid will be on its way to Ukraine. The White House also announced that the U.S. will broaden its sanctions on Russia, admit 100,000 Ukrainian refugees and provide an additional $1 billion in food, medicine, water and other supplies.
