Every day I struggle to get weapons - Zelenskiy
STORY: U.S. President Joe Biden announced $1 billion worth of new weapons aid for Ukraine that includes anti-ship rocket systems, artillery rockets and rounds for howitzers
Biden, who spoke with Zelenskiy by phone on Wednesday, also announced an additional $225 million in humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
Western nations have promised Ukraine NATO-standard weapons but deploying them is taking time.
Earlier in the day Zelenskiy held a meeting with the leaders from Montenegro, Albania and North Macedonia where he received a "significant decision" by these countries to support Ukraine's candidacy to the EU.
The European Union's executive is expected to propose on Friday (June 17) that Ukraine become a formal candidate for membership of the bloc, diplomats and officials say, a significant political gesture to the country as it resists Russia's invasion.
