Zelenskyy Rejects Cease-Fire, Calls for More Support as Ukraine-Russia Conflict Continues

Ukrainian president claims Russia is sourcing weapons from North Korea and Iran, while Western aid to Ukraine slows despite promises.

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.
