Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday urged allies against appeasing Russia, in a statement after he returned from a trip to the United States where he failed to secure long-range Tomahawk missile supplies.

“Ukraine will never grant terrorists any bounty for their crimes, and we count on our partners to uphold this very position,” Zelensky wrote on social media on his return from Washington.

He called “for decisive steps” from European and American allies, adding that it was time for another meeting between the European-led “coalition of the willing”. (AFP)
