Ukraine's leader pleaded directly to Biden and NATO for more help and claimed Russia was committing new war crimes as the alliance met one month into Putin's brutal invasion.
— Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on people worldwide to gather in public Thursday to show support for his embattled country before addressing President Biden and other NATO leaders gathered in Brussels on the one-month anniversary of"Come to your squares, your streets. Make yourselves visible and heard," Zelenskyy said in English during an emotional video address late Wednesday."Say that people matter. Freedom matters. Peace matters.
"Yes, it is true — we are not in the alliance," Zelenskyy said in prepared remarks."It feels like we are in the 'gray zone' between the West and Russia. But we defend all our common values. And we are bright people! And we have been defending all these values for a month now! A month of heroic resistance. A month of the darkest suffering."
A senior administration official also said the U.S. is"consulting" with allies to provide anti-ship missiles to Ukraine, something Zelenskyy requested in his remarks. NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg said Thursday as Mr. Biden and other leaders arrived that Russian President Vladimir Putin had"made a big mistake, and that is to launch a war against an independent sovereign nation." Putin, Stoltenberg said, has underestimated the strength of the Ukrainian people, the bravery of the Ukrainian people and their armed forces."
