“We require a strong air defense that is both contemporary and effective. which can provide total defense against these missiles. Every day, my partner and I discuss this. A few deals have already been made.
Additionally, if partners are truly partners and not watchers, they must move more quickly “In his daily message, he remarked.
“Any limits or delays in the delivery of weaponry to our state are really an invitation for Russia to strike repeatedly.”
This appeal was made following a Russian attack on a Kyiv apartment building. According to Ukraine, one person was killed and four others were hurt in the attack. A girl, age 7, is among those hurt.
The first strikes against the Ukrainian capital in three weeks were denounced by Biden as “barbarism.”
