As Volodymyr Zelenskyy pointed out, terror can be reliably stopped only in one way — by strikes on Russian military airfields, on their bases, on the logistics of Russian terror.

Every day, we work for stronger solutions to support our defense — for the right long-range solutions. I talked about this with my partners at the Ramstein meeting. Thanks to all the countries that supported us with relevant aid packages, — added President Volodymyr Zelenskyi.
