Ukraine needs means to protect against Russian missiles. This requires the support of partners and the political will of allies.
Ukraine's president showed the aftermath of Russia's missile attack on Kyiv
The head of state reacted to today's missile attack on Kyiv.
Such terror [continues] every day and every night. World unity is able to stop it when it helps us with air defence systems. Russian terrorists do not have such missiles that could bypass the defence of "Patriots" and other leading world systems.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
President of Ukraine
At the same time, Zelenskyy emphasised that Ukraine needs protection from Russian missiles—from Kyiv to Kharkiv, Sumy to Kherson, and Odesa to the Donetsk region. According to the president, this is possible if the partners have enough political will.
We must show that terror always loses. We must prove to Russia that it will be forced to accept a normal free life in Ukraine. We need the support of partners. And I am grateful to everyone in the world who really helps, added Zelenskyy.
