Zelensky: strengthening Ukraine’s air shield top priority

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated this in his evening address, as reported by Ukrinform.

According to him, Ukraine is currently working on securing more resources from its partners to reinforce its air defense system.

"Protection against shelling is an absolute priority. Much more needs to be done, but every one of our partners in the world who helps us with this is a life saver," Zelensky emphasized, adding that this is what everyone should be focused on right now.

"And this is what everyone in the world should be thinking about now: about lives, about cooperation, about putting pressure on the aggressor and about bringing real peace closer. Peace that Russia will not grant. Peace that they can only be pressured into. And we will do it!" Zelensky assured.

As reported by Ukrinform, President Zelensky previously stated that sanctions must be truly strong to prevent Russia from acquiring foreign-made components for missiles and drones.
