Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for people worldwide to take to the streets in protest Thursday to mark one month since Russia invaded his country.
"From this day and after that, show your standing, come from your offices, your homes, your schools and universities, come in the name of peace, come with Ukrainian symbols to support Ukraine, to support freedom, to support life," Zelenskyy said."Come to your squares, your streets, make yourselves visible and heard. Say that people matter, freedom matters, peace matters, Ukraine matters.
In a video address to the NATO summit Thursday, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine needs"military assistance without limitations," as Russia is"using its entire arsenal" against the country."We can't just buy those," Zelenskyy said."When we will have all this, it will give us, just like you, 100% security."
"It feels like we're in a gray area, between the West and Russia, defending our common values," Zelenskyy said emotionally."This is the scariest thing during a war — not to have clear answers to requests for help." Zelesnkyy's comments came as U.S. President Joe Biden and other NATO leaders gathered in Brussels on the one-month anniversary of the Russian invasion. Biden is slated to address the NATO assembly later on Thursday.
