"The U.S. is the one that could provide the most help. Of course, I am asking President Trump to come to the assistance, despite the large deficit and despite the fact that everyone’s reserves are half-empty due to the war in the Middle East. We are working with everyone—with Europe, the U.S., and others," the president emphasized.
Zelenskyy reported that there were three waves of ballistic missile attacks today.
"I spoke with Kryvonozhko, then with Drapatyi, then with Kryvonozhko again. We faced three waves of ballistic missile attacks. Today in Kyiv, 60% of the ballistic missiles were shot down. That’s important.
I wish it were more. That’s how it was today. Not 10% and not 0%—but this year we’ve had moments when it was 0%. And it’s not because someone lacks experience, it’s because someone lacks missiles," he concluded.
