The Ukrainian President met with the leaders of several other European countries during the Three Seas Summit

Ukraine ’s President Volodymyr Zelensky urged his country’s allies to make good on their promises of military aid on Thursday, particularly in the form of desperately needed air defence systems as RussiaMoscow has recently renewed its campaign of targeting Ukraine ’s now crippled energy infrastructure, resulting in major damage to its power grid.

Kyiv relies heavily on Western Patriot systems as it does not have sophisticated air defences of its own. It needs 26 units of the system in total to cover the country – and at least seven urgently. Ukraine has already warned of dwindling air defence missiles. “We talked with Zelensky about a certain stock of Soviet-era missiles which we have in our warehouses and we have talked about handing them over,” Duda said.
