MUNICH (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is urging Western allies to quicken their military support for Ukraine. He warned Friday at a major international security conference that delays would play into Russia’s hand as the invasion approaches its first anniversary. He told the Munich Security Conference in Germany there is no alternative to speed. Ukraine is depending on Western weapons to thwart Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ambition of securing control of large areas of the country, in what has become a test of foreign governments’ resolve amid increasing financial costs. About 40 heads of state and government are attending the gathering.
