President Volodymyr Zelenskiy called on allies on Thursday to allow Western weapons long-range strikes on Russia, in particular on military airfields.
"The fewer restrictions we have the more Russia will seek peace," he said in his speech at a European political community meeting in Britain.
He stressed that the allied decision to allow such strikes - only along Russia's border after it opened a new front in Kharkiv region - has not led to any escalation.
