Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivered a pointed message on Tuesday, urging partner nations to provide advanced air defense systems to Ukraine in order to counter ongoing Russian attacks. The President emphasized that without these capabilities, Ukrainian cities remain at risk of devastating strikes, which have become a regular feature of the conflict. He reiterated that global support is essential to neutralize Russia’s military operations while creating an environment conducive to meaningful peace negotiations.
Zelenskyy’s remarks came in the wake of another night of intense shelling by Russian forces, which targeted multiple urban centers across Ukraine. The attacks have intensified since the beginning of the year, with both sides reporting significant losses and escalating violence. The President called for increased military援助 and diplomatic pressure, asserting that without intervention, Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity will continue to be threatened. He also warned that the international community is failing to enforce accountability for Russia’s actions, which he believes is hindering the prospects for a lasting resolution.
