President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, after another missile attack by the Russians, said that Ukraine needs powerful air defence and our defence support, not turning a blind eye and long discussions.
Ukraine needs air defence for protection
Russian terrorists once again targeted critical infrastructure objects. There was another vile missile attack on Kharkiv and the Kharkiv region. Objects in other regions were also targeted: Kyiv, Zaporizhzhya, Odesa and Lviv.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
President of Ukraine
Zelenskyy emphasised that Ukraine's neighbours and partners see how critical the need for air defence is.
The head of state said that Ukraine needs air defensce and other defence support, "not turning a blind eye and long discussions."
Right here, right now, precisely with our ability to overcome Russian terror, the world can prove that everyone equally perceives terror as a crime. If Russia is allowed to continue doing this, if Russian missiles and "Shaheds" will hit not only Ukraine, but also at the determination of its partners, it will be a global license for terror, Zelenskyy emphasised.
