Zelensky Notes 'Painful Losses' as NATO Chief Calls for Ukrainian Weapons
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday stressed the need for more anti-missile systems, as the battle with Russian forces continues in Ukraine despite Russia's depleting stock.
Zelensky released an extended statement on Tuesday, posted to the official presidential page on the Ukrainian government's website. In it, he noted that his country's forces have been able to "cut the wings" of some Russian missiles, saving lives and infrastructure. Despite those successes, however, the country is still being bombarded with strikes, with Zelensky highlighting destruction in the regions of Lviv and Ternopil.
In response, Zelensky stressed to ally nations that Ukraine requires modern anti-missile systems, which he also said the government had requested prior to Russia's full-scale invasion.
"Our country does not have it at a sufficient level yet, but it is our country in Europe that needs such weapons most right now," Zelensky wrote. "Delay with its provision cannot be justified. I will constantly emphasize this when talking to our partners."
