President Volodymyr Zelensky hosted Western leaders in Kyiv to mark the second anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as Ukrainian forces face ammunition shortages and uncertain foreign aid, Associated Press reports.
Leaders from the EU and G7 expressed solidarity with Ukraine, with some attending a virtual G7 meeting and others including Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen visited Kyiv.
Ukraine signed 10-year bilateral security deals with Canada and Italy, with Ottawa committing to send Kyiv 3.02 billion Canadian dollars (2.2 billion US dollars) in military and economic aid, while Rome promised much-needed long-range weapons.
