His design comes after a host of Russian missile attacks in Kiev, and other areas over the weekend, of which at least one person has been killed.
To the east of Ukraine, Russia has won full control of Severodonjek, and is targeting Lisicanscu.
On Sunday, Zelensky has said delays in sending weapons are “for Russia to attack again”.
In his daily address, he has called for new air systems for protection and sanctions against Russia.
“Partners need to act faster, if they really are partners, not monitors”, he said.
The war in Ukraine is at the helm of the G7 agenda, and participating countries are expected to pledge more military support for Kiev, as well as more sanctions for Moscow.
Western leaders are trying to disseminate a united front after German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has said Russian missile attacks show that “has been the right decision to unite and support Ukrainians”.
US President Joe Biden has said Russian President Vladimir Putin has thought that NATO and the G7 would be divided, “well that didn't happen, nor would it happen”.
Following the G7 summit, this time held in Bavar, NATO leaders will meet later in Spain.
Zelensky is expected to give a speech there too. / REL/
