Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russia continues its attacks on Ukraine and called on the international community for support.

In his statement, Zelensky claimed that civilian areas were targeted in Russian attacks in the Odesa, Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv regions.

Stating that every day of Russia’s war against Ukraine demonstrates the importance of the military, political and humanitarian support provided to Ukraine, Zelensky said, “Ukraine needs more air defense systems and more support to protect lives.”

Zelensky argued that the international community sees that the Russian leadership is unwilling to end the war and said that pressure on Russia must be increased.

Referring to the importance of new support packages for Ukraine, new sanctions against the aggressor country and defense projects in Europe, Zelensky said, “Pressure on Russia will work.”

Zelensky also stated that new initiatives, such as Europe’s FREYJA ballistic missile defense project, would contribute to strengthening Ukraine’s defense and thanked the countries providing support.

The Ukrainian president noted that new meetings and negotiations aimed at strengthening the country’s defense capacity would be held soon.
