President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced new decisions soon to strengthen Ukraine's air defence ahead of winter.

What is known about Ukraine's efforts to strengthen air defense

I want to recognize the countries that announced new aid to our state this week. Germany, Finland, Lithuania - thanks for the new defense packages. Estonia - will increase security investments in ammunition production in the coming years. And this is important. Norway and Britain — there are decisions on new humanitarian packages for Ukraine and Ukrainians. Thank you. And we are already preparing new steps — safe steps — in the coming weeks. In particular, this concerns the strengthening of air defense, — the president emphasized.

He noted that just last night, air defence forces destroyed almost 30 attack UAVs of the "Shahed" type of the criminal army of the Russian Federation in Ukrainian airspace.

The closer to winter, the more Russian efforts will be to make the strikes more powerful. It is important for all of us in Ukraine to be 100 percent efficient. Despite all the difficulties. Despite all the fatigue. Despite any efforts to weaken Ukraine, Zelenskyy emphasized .

Zelenskyy regarding those who support the aggression of the Russian Federation in Ukraine

The President emphasized that the Ukrainian authorities will cut off all ties with Ukraine for persons who in various ways support the aggression of the Russian Federation.

Several decisions of the National Security Council regarding sanctions have been put into effect. Almost 40 Russian legal entities and more than 100 individuals. In particular, those involved in the abduction and deportation of Ukrainian children from the occupied territory. And also persons who in various ways help the Russian terror against Ukraine. We are increasing the pressure of our state on them. Each of them must be responsible for what they have done, and we will not leave any connection of these people with Ukraine, Zelenskyy emphasized .
