Quote: "I have asked the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to be very attentive to reports in the media and on social networks that some of our fighters do not have enough combat protective equipment."
"The reports I receive are significantly different from what is discussed by society."
"And I expect inspections of logistics in the army – inspections of what is supplied and how combat protective equipment is distributed."
"Everyone in the areas of hostilities must have everything they need to protect themselves today. The state is providing such supplies."
Details: Zelensky also said that the Air Defence managed to shoot down some Russian missiles on June 14.
However, there were casualties and destruction: "Lviv and Ternopil oblasts have been hit today."
Quote: "We keep telling our partners that Ukraine needs modern anti-missile weapons."
"Our country does not have these at a sufficient level yet, but it is our country – of all European countries – that needs such weapons the most right now. There can be no justification for any delay in providing it."
