Overview

• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has ruled out a cease-fire with Russia, arguing that it would only give Moscow time to rearm and regroup.
• Zelenskyy is pressing allies for more support, including better weapons, as both sides scramble to replenish their arsenals after 22 months of fighting.
• Zelenskyy claims that Russia is receiving artillery shells and missiles from North Korea and drones from Iran.
• Zelenskyy is on a two-day visit to Baltic countries, which have been among Ukraine's staunchest supporters in the war.
• Despite pledges of support from the West, including a plan by the Biden administration to send $60 billion in new funding to Kyiv, the flow of aid has slowed, with only about 300,000 of a promised 1 million artillery shells delivered so far.
