Ukraine's Zelenskiy says he ordered intensified contacts with US for deliveries of arms

Zelenskiy issued his call a day after U.S. President Donald Trump said Washington would send more weapons to Ukraine, mainly defensive ones, to help the country defend itself against intensifying Russian advances. "Today, I instructed the minister of defence and the commander in chief to intensify all contacts with the American side," Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address. "We currently have all the necessary political statements and decisions and we must implement them as quickly as possible to protect our people and positions," he said.
