Zelenskyy is in Brussels on Thursday to meet with European Union leaders as they gather for a summit.
The Belgian capital is the third stop in the Ukrainian President's whirlwind European tour. He visited London on Wednesday afternoon to address Parliament and hold a meeting with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak before crossing the Channel again for a meeting in Paris with Emmanuel Macron and Olaf Scholz.

During his trip to Brussels, Zelenskyy delivered a speech to European lawmakers in which he said his country is defending the "European way of life" and focuses on shared values.
I can't go home 'without results': Zelenskyy
"I simply haven't got the right to come back without the results," the Ukrainian President also told reporters when asked by Euronews Efi Koutsokosta if he expected to leave Brussels with concrete pledges for more support and military equipment, including fighter jets.

"That depends on the partners. And for me, personally, it's very important that all the talks we conduct can lead to the result - should lead to the result. And perhaps, that's slightly impertinent, but that's not cynical, that's a pragmatic point of view."

"There are positive signals concerning the respective weapons. We have positive signals that we hear each other and I really want these signals to move to concrete sounds," he added.
