(TNS) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a plea to press on with support for his war effort 11 days before the inauguration of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who has pledged a swift end to the fighting.

The Ukrainian president implored representatives from roughly 50 nations to maintain their military support for his country’s nearly three-year war with Russia.

The United States will provide Ukraine with an additional $500 million in weapons and equipment in what’s expected to be the final military aid package under the outgoing Biden administration.

Ukraine's leader says partners sending ground troops would help "force Russia into peace," as America's European allies ponder Trump's next move.

Ukraine's Western allies will gather with President Volodymyr Zelensky at a US base in Germany on Thursday in their last such meeting before Donald Trump returns to the White House in less than two weeks.
