Strengthening air defence

The President emphasised the importance of supporting one another.

"I thank every single person who is helping the victims. Further support from our partners is no less important. I am grateful to everyone who is now offering words of support. But concrete steps are also needed to strengthen air defence – the supply of missiles must not stop for a single day," he added.
