Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a security deal with Germany yesterday in Berlin, hailed by Chancellor Olaf Scholz as a “historic step” amid Kyiv’s raging battles against Russia.

Zelensky will also seal a similar deal with France later Wednesday, as he seeks to shore up help for his forces, who are struggling to hold off Russian attacks on the frontline city of Avdiivka.

With the Ukraine war about to enter a third year, the president was to make a new plea for sustained help on financing and armaments at the Munich Security Conference, where leaders like US Vice President Kamala Harris are to gather.
