Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged the West on Wednesday, January 15, to allocate approximately $250 billion from unallocated frozen Russian assets to purchase weapons for Kyiv to combat Russia's invading forces.

"The strongest support for the Ukrainian army is to allocate the 250 billion. Ukraine will take this money, allocate a large amount for domestic production and for the import of exactly those types of weapons that Ukraine does not have," Zelensky said during a press conference in Warsaw.
