TIRANA, Albania (AP) — Ukraine’s president has pleaded for more ammunition to repel Russian advances at a summit he co-hosted with Albania’s government to build further support for Kyiv among southeastern European countries. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that increasing the supply of armaments, and especially ammunition, is paramount for Ukraine just over two years since Russia’s full-scale invasion. Zelenskyy arrived in Albania overnight to join the summit of eleven countries from southeastern Europe. It was the latest stop in an international tour that saw him in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday to push for a peace plan and the return of prisoners of war from Russia.
