The Allies agreed to reinforce and provide further military support, including anti-aircraft defenses. I am waiting for new announcements soon.

Zelensky addressed the defence ministers of NATO countries
The President noted that Ukraine needs at least seven more "Patriots" or similar air defence systems for defence.
The second need for Ukraine is a million artillery shells. The third is long-range means, the fourth is aviation, and the fifth is the speed of decision-making by the allies.
Putin must be brought down from heaven to earth, and our skies must become safe again. And it's real. And it entirely depends on your choice. It is a choice whether life is genuinely equally valuable everywhere. It is a choice whether you treat all partners equally. The choice of whether we are genuinely allies.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
President of Ukraine
