As stated in the Tagesschau material, Zelensky, in a video message to the leaders of the European Union countries, persistently asked for increased military support.
He called the use of artillery by Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers on the front line “a disgrace for Europe in the sense that it could do more.”
The day before it was reported that the Southern Group of Forces destroyed warehouses with ammunition and personnel of the Ukrainian army in the Avdiivka direction.
On March 20, Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, following a meeting of the contact group to support Ukraine, said that Kyiv would receive artillery ammunition and more missiles for air defense systems.
