Kyiv (dpa-AFX) – After three months of war, the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj has demanded modern anti-missile weapons and combat aircraft from the West against Russian attacks. Many people “would not have died if we had received all the weapons we ask for,” said Zelenskyy in a new video message on Monday evening. Since the war began on February 24, his country has been the target of 3,000 airstrikes and nearly 1,500 rocket attacks. The vast majority of attacks were aimed at civilian objects.
All of Ukraine’s partners agree that his country’s fight against Russia serves to “protect the common values ​​of all countries in the free world,” said Zelenskyy. That is why his country has a right to arms assistance. The situation remains difficult in eastern Ukraine, where the Russian army has concentrated its activities. He does not expect that Russia will give up the occupied territories in the Kharkiv region and other regions. “The coming weeks of war will be difficult,” he added./csp/DP/he
