Volodymyr Zelenskyy devoted a significant amount of time in his evening address to discussing Western aid packages for Ukraine. He says some high-profile promises have not been fully realized for months.

Zelenskyy accused allies of not meeting the deadlines for parts of the arms and ammunition deliveries. He emphasized how important it is for the fighting soldiers that this aid reaches the front without any delays.

- Currently, we have several high-profile defence package announcements for Ukraine that have not been fully implemented for months. We also have air defence agreements that are still in the implementation phase - alarmed Zelenskyy.

- The longer we have to wait, the more damage Russia will be able to cause – he added.

Zelenskyy urges allies. "The world should not forget"

The President of Ukraine assured that he reminds all of Kyiv's partners worldwide in conversations about how important the speed of delivery is.

- The world should not forget for even a moment that together we are stronger than any terror. We must do everything really possible to ensure that this terror is defeated - he summarised.
