Details

According to the president, the NATO Secretary General's visit to Ukraine took place at a difficult moment, when Russia once again ignored the American side's efforts to de-escalate.

It is important that the NATO Secretary General is with us in Ukraine at such a harsh moment of this war, when the Russians once again disregarded the efforts of the American side

He reported that today's attack was a record in terms of the number of ballistic missiles used.

There were 28 cruise missiles, as well as 43 other types of missiles that hit targets along a ballistic trajectory and can only be shot down by Patriot systems. This means that missiles for these systems are needed and that delivery must be prompt

Zelenskyy noted that these issues were discussed in detail during negotiations with Mark Rutte and expressed hope for the implementation of the reached agreements.
