Zelenskyy joined world leaders in France to commemorate the D-Day invasion and seek more Western help.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy joined world leaders in France on Thursday to commemorate the D-Day invasion and seek more Western help even as his forces battled to stave off a Russian onslaught near the eastern city of Kharkiv in Europe's biggest conflict since World War II.
Overnight, Ukrainian drones struck an oil refinery and a fuel depot in Russian border regions, officials in the targeted areas said Thursday, in Kyiv's ongoing effort to disrupt the Kremlin's war machine. Ukrainian lawmaker Yehor Cherniev told The Associated Press that they can be used only in Russian border regions east of Ukraine where the Kremlin's forces assemble and launch attacks, but they cannot hit airfields or aircraft that fire missiles at Ukraine, including at civilian areas.Zelenskyy and his wife are greeted by French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron.
Ukraine has received authorisation to use the weapons "just across the border where they're receiving significant fire from conventional weapons used by the Russians to go into Ukraine to kill Ukrainians," Biden said.He also pledged that "we will not walk away" from the defence of Ukraine and allow Russia to threaten more of Europe.
Putin claimed that using some Western-supplied weapons involves military personnel of those countries controlling the missiles and selecting targets, and therefore he said that Moscow could take "asymmetrical" steps elsewhere in the world.
