The German government has approved the delivery of as many as 88 Leopard 1 tanks to Ukraine, as President Zelensky hosts a summit for EU leaders in the capital

 

 

Air raid alerts sounded across Ukraine on Friday as President Volodymyr Zelensky hosted European Union leaders to discuss further sanctions on Russia and Ukraine's prospects of joining the European bloc.

The head of the EU's executive commission and the chairman of the 27 EU national leaders travelled to Kyiv to demonstrate support for Ukraine as the first anniversary of Russia's Feb. 24, 2022, invasion of its neighbour approaches.

"There will be no let up in our resolve. We will also support you every step of the way on your journey to the EU," EU chairman Charles Michel wrote on Twitter on Friday morning under a picture of himself on a central Kyiv square.
