Details: Zelenskyy emphasised that Russia continues its missile terror against Ukraine's civilian infrastructure and energy sector. 

Specifically, the strike on the Okhmatdyt children's hospital in Kyiv once again highlighted the importance of strengthening Ukrainian air defence and expanding permission to use US-supplied weapons against military targets in Russia.

Zelenskyy also noted the need to accelerate the delivery of F-16 fighter jets and defence assistance from the packages already approved.
