Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said “there are no accidents in wartime” after a helicopter crash in the capital Kyiv killed 14 people.
Ukraine has not claimed Russian intervention, but Mr Zelenskiy told the World Economic Forum in Davos that the tragedy was the result of war.
Interior Minister Denis Monastirsky died along with several colleagues.
Mr Zelensky also used his video address to urge allies to urgently send more weapons ahead of new Russian attacks.
“The time the free world uses to think, the terrorist state uses to kill,” he explained. The comment was interpreted as a request for Germany to hurry up the delivery of its much-coveted Leopard tanks.
Berlin is reportedly unwilling to send the vehicles unless the United States commits to providing its Abrams battle tanks. Britain has recently pledged to send several of its tanks to Kyiv.
The head of the NATO military alliance said in Davos on Wednesday that Ukraine expected to receive “more support, more advanced assistance, heavier weapons and advanced weapons.”
Jens Stoltenberg said NATO member states would discuss on Friday what military equipment could be sent to Kyiv.
