In Munich, Western allies vow support for Ukraine amid frustration over slow pace of aid

Munich, Germany — As dozens of world leaders descended on Germany this weekend for the annual Munich Security Conference, declarations of support for Ukraine were nearly ubiquitous — as were acknowledgments that help and weapons are arriving too slowly.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy started off the three-day forum with a message of urgency, telling delegates in a virtual address on Friday that "we need to hurry up." 

"There is no alternative to speed," he said. "Because it is the speed that life depends on."
