Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged a timely delivery of defence systems, including Patriot missiles, from NATO in order to thwart Russian attacks.
"The daily Russian missile attacks, as well as the daily attempts of the occupier to destroy more of our positions, can all be stopped. The Russian offensive plans can be thwarted," Zelenskyy said.
"For this, Ukrainian strength must be backed up by sufficient support from partners: 'Patriots' that are needed here, the 155 mm calibre that must sound as strong as possible at the front, the weapons with a sufficient range that can and must destroy Russian logistics," he said.
In his plea, Zelenskyy said, "Timely delivery of weapons to our warriors, timely and sufficient decisions on air defense for Ukraine are what we need right now to protect lives. Especially since our partners really have all the necessary systems, really have all the necessary quality of weapons, so that our warriors can operate much more effectively."
