NATO's secretary-general meets with Zelenskyy to discuss 'ending Russia's aggression'
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) NATOs secretary-general met with Ukraines president to discuss the status of the war and needs of troops on Thursday, the day after Russia accused Ukraines Western allies of helping plan and conduct last weeks missile strike on the Black Sea Fleets headquarters in the annexed Crimean Peninsula.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg agreed to make efforts to get NATO members to help provide additional air defense systems to protect Ukraines power plants and energy infrastructure that were badly damaged by Russian attacks last winter.
Zelensky also reminded the secretary-general of the persistent drone, missile and artillery attacks that often strike residential areas and were blamed Thursday for at least three civilian deaths in the past day.
In the face of such intense attacks against Ukrainians, against our cities, our ports, which are crucial for global food security, we need a corresponding intensity of pressure on Russia and a strengthening of our air defense, Zelenskyy said.
