Ukraine’s Zelensky Calls for More Military Aid Ahead of Battles in Eastern Regions

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky launched a fresh appeal for military aid as the country prepares for what are expected to become the war’s biggest battles in eastern Ukraine, while refugees continued to flee westward to escape an expanding war zone.

In a virtual address to lawmakers in South Korea on Monday, Mr. Zelensky asked for military equipment, pressing the country to deliver more than the humanitarian assistance and nonlethal aid it has given so far. “We thank South Korea for the help you have provided, but in order to survive from the war with Russia we need more help,” Mr. Zelensky said during the roughly 15-minute address.
