Ukraine War: 'This is the war, this is the fight' says President Zelenskyy

The Ukrainian President said he understood why the people of Ukraine might be feeling weary - but he tried to galvanise them, saying it was a 'patriotic war'.

And Volodymyr Zelenskyy appealed to the European Union to do more to help them - calling for more sanctions against Russia, "who must pay every day".
