TIRANA, Albania (AP) — Ukraine’s president is pleaded for more ammunition to repel Russia as he co-hosts a summit with Albania’s government to build further support for Kyiv among southeastern European countries while signs of war fatigue grow. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that increasing the supply of armaments, and especially ammunition, is “the most fundamental initiative” for Ukraine just over two years since Russia’s full-scale invasion.  Zelenskyy arrived in Albania overnight to join a summit of eleven countries from southeastern Europe. It was the latest stop in an international tour that saw him in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday to push for a peace plan and the return of prisoners of war from Russia.
