Zelensky, Stoere discuss strengthening Ukraine's air defense

The head of state reported this on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

"I spoke with Prime Minister of Norway Jonas Gahr Stoere. I am grateful for the support after last night's treacherous Russian attack that claimed lives of Ukrainians," Zelensky said.

He stressed that Ukraine deeply values Norway's assistance.

"We discussed air defense, Ukraine’s urgent needs and opportunities to strengthen ourselves. We also spoke about the increasing incidents with Russian drones over Europe. The unity of Europeans will definitely provide an answer to this threat. We coordinated further contacts," Zelensky said.

Earlier, Zelensky said that on the night of September 27-28, Russia launched nearly 500 attack drones and more than 40 missiles, including Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, against Ukrainian cities. Four people were killed in Kyiv, and at least 40 injured nationwide.
