Aid for Ukraine
"Our people need more protection, and anything that supports Ukraine’s air defence ultimately helps save lives. That is why PURL and additional contributions for anti-ballistic missiles are important. It is equally important to work in Europe on joint defence against ballistic threats. We must be self-sufficient in defence so that Russian aerial terror cannot threaten either Ukraine or any other country on the continent. I am grateful to all partners who support our defence with concrete actions," Zelenskyy concluded.
