The Ukrainian president called for “decisiveness” as he urged leaders to overcome the “fear” of making the choice...Mr Zelensky stated:,,,“This terror can be stopped. But to stop it, the fear of making strong, objectively necessary decisions must be overcome. Only decisiveness can bring a just end to this war. It is decisiveness that most effectively protects against terror.”...Foreign minister Andrii Sybiha said: “We need partners to lift all restrictions on the use of weapons so that Ukraine can destroy Russian airfields, bombers, and launch sites. “Let Ukraine strike back.” But [UK Foreign Secretary David] Lammy told Sky News’s Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips programme: “Putin said ‘don’t send tanks’. We sent them. Putin said ‘don’t send any missiles’. We sent them. “Putin threatens every few months to use nuclear weapons. “What he should now do is cease his aggression and leave Ukraine.” Mr Lammy said there was “a lot of bluster” from Mr Putin but “we cannot be blown off course by an imperialist fascist” who “wants to move into countries willy-nilly”.
