After another monstrous Russian attack, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called on the world to defeat Russian terror.
“Every state that provides air defence systems to Ukraine, every leader who helps convince partners that air defence systems should not now be in warehouses, but in real cities and districts that are under attack by terrorists, everyone who supports our defence, are life-savers. We must defeat the Russian terror,” the President said.
He stressed that this is a necessity not only for Ukraine and Ukrainians but for the entire world.
“Russia must be held accountable for its terror, and every missile, every Shahed attack drone must be shot down. The world can guarantee this, our partners have the necessary capabilities. This has been proven, in particular, in the skies of the Middle East, and it should work in the skies of Europe,” Zelenskyy concluded.
