Pressure on Russia
"I am grateful to Lindsey for honouring our warriors. The stronger Ukraine is on the battlefield, the greater the chances that diplomacy will eventually work. Right now, it is important to reinforce our long-range sanctions pressure on Russia with new sanctions measures from our partners. Lindsey briefed me on Congress’s work on the relevant bill," Zelenskyy said.
Air defence needs
