7:12 am: Zelensky urges halt to Russia’s bombardment
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Friday that Ukrainians “need to achieve peace” and halt Russian bombardment that has forced millions to flee to countries like Poland, where US President Joe Biden is due to receive a briefing later today on the humanitarian crisis.
On the heels of Western leaders’ summits in Brussels that aimed to show a united front against Russia’s month-long invasion of its neighbour, Biden will travel to the eastern Polish town of Rzeszow, less than 80 kilometres from the Ukrainian border, and meet experts involved in the refugee response. He will also meet members of the US 82nd Airborne Division.
Western leaders denounced Moscow’s invasion as barbaric and promised new military and humanitarian aid after Thursday’s talks in Brussels.
