BRUSSELS: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said several European Union leaders told a summit he attended on Thursday they were ready to provide Kyiv with aircraft to help it fight against Russia’s invasion.
Zelenskiy spoke after joining - for the first time ever - all the 27 national EU leaders’ talks in Brussels, part of his second trip abroad since Russia attacked a year ago this month and one meant to get more arms from allies.
