Zelenskyy urges NATO lawmakers to fast-track air defense decisions
Vladimir Putin hopes to use terror to break Ukraine’s resistance regime, this cannot be allowed, a decision must be made on the supply of air defense systems and missiles in the coming weeks, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.
"Before winter, Putin hopes to use this terror to break our resistance regime. We cannot allow this. Therefore, I urge you to speak out in your parliaments and governments for strengthening air defense and missiles, which we need. And decisions on systems and missiles must be made in the coming weeks," Zelenskyy said during his address to the 71st annual session of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly on Monday.
He stressed that the Russian Federation must understand that it cannot terrorize any country with impunity. Zelenskyy also recalled that yesterday he discussed with US President Donald Trump the Patriot systems, Tomahawk missiles, the energy equipment needed by Ukraine and the need to stop partners who buy Russian oil.
"Even if Hungarians claim that this helps their chances in the elections, in the long run it undermines the security of their country and Europe. For Putin, every billion matters. You cannot be part of the free world and at the same time support those who want to destroy it," the president said.
