Kiev, June 27 (TIWN) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will virtually address the G7 Summit in Germany, during which he is expected to urge the delivery of more heavy weapons in the wake of Russia's ongoing war against Kiev.

In his address to the country on Sunday, Zelensky said delaying arms deliveries was "an invitation to Russia to strike again and again", reports the BBC.     "Partners need to move faster if they are really partners, not observers," he said and called for air defence systems and fresh sanctions against Russia.  The President's plea came after Russia fired a barrage of missile strikes on Kiev, the central city of Cherkasy where one person died, and the Kharkiv region, along with Chernihiv in the north and Zhytomyr and Lviv west of the capital.  The strike on Starychi district in Lviv was just 30 km from the border with Poland, reports the BBC.
