KYIV (Reuters) - President Volodymyr Zelenskiy told Ukraine's parliament on Tuesday that the war had reached a decisive moment, as he urged citizens to stay "resilient" and touted plans for a huge ramp-up in production of strike weapons.

In an hour-long speech to mark 1,000 days since Russia's full-scale invasion, he said Ukraine would not trade its sovereignty or relinquish its right to its territories, and he ruled out the holding of new elections until peace is achieved.
