Zelenskyy called on EU leaders to provide Ukraine with more air defense systems and ammunition to protect its cities from Russian terror and defeat Putin in the battle for Ukrainian skies.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on EU leaders to provide more air defense systems and ammunition to Ukraine. The head of state said this in his speech at a meeting of the European Council, UNN reports.

Details

All the air defense systems provided to Ukraine, in particular by European countries, keep our cities and villages alive. Unfortunately, the available air defense systems are not enough to protect our entire territory from Russian terror. And we are not talking about hundreds of systems, but about an achievable number to protect the entire territory of Ukraine. You all know what steps need to be taken. I urge you to help protect our cities: Kharkiv, Sumy, Dnipro, Odesa, Kherson and others. We need to provide reliable protection of the skies above the frontline in Ukraine. To make Putin lose the battle for the Ukrainian sky

Zelensky said.

In addition, he noted that the use of artillery at the front by Ukrainian soldiers is now humiliating for Europe, because "Europe can provide more, and it is critical to prove it now.

According to the President, Europe needs real defense self-sufficiency, and this can only be achieved by increasing the production of weapons and ammunition on the continent.

Ukraine has demonstrated that this can be done quite quickly. Please do not waste the time needed to revitalize defense production. The technological side of warfare is being updated, and we need to keep up with the changes for the sake of the security of every European country

Zelensky said.

He noted that Ukraine offers Europe to invest in the production of drones, one of the key weapons in modern warfare.

Our drone production potential is sufficient, and we need sufficient funding to realize this potential at the front. Everything we build to protect Ukraine will also work to protect our entire Europe

Zelensky emphasized
