He instructed the Minister of Defense and the Minister of Foreign Affairs to intensify contacts with partners regarding air defense. In the context of "Ramstein", a meeting is being prepared. There are two main tasks, and this is precisely air defense, precisely "patriots", and the second task is contingents, the maximum approximation of all decisions, the processing of all details

The President also emphasized the need for bilateral work with partners, in particular with the United States of America, which have sufficient potential to effectively stop terrorist attacks by the Russian Federation. Zelenskyy stressed that strengthening Ukraine's air shield will simultaneously strengthen the diplomacy and security of the state.

In today's Russian strike, missiles were launched from the Black Sea. Partners know what ships they were and from what part of the sea this launch took place. This is one of the reasons why Russia distorts diplomacy, why Russia does not agree to an unconditional ceasefire: they want to keep the opportunity to strike at our cities, at our ports from the sea

Let's remind

Earlier, Zelenskyy stated that last week the Russian Federation fired more than 1,460 guided aerial bombs, almost 670 strike drones and more than 30 missiles of various types at Ukrainian cities and villages, including more than two dozen this night.
