Quote: "We strive for more air defence systems for Ukraine. I’m sure we’ll succeed. We strive for more aircraft. The F-16s. We fight to obtain them. We fight for additional security guarantees for Ukraine, such as armament and funds, as well as political aid. We fight for necessary decisive actions from America and Europe, which will strengthen our soldiers.

We will rebuild the Okhmatdyt. I’m in touch with the Cabinet of Ministers. The first decision was made – 100 million hryvnias (roughly US$2.4 million) will be allocated to support the Okhmatdyt. There will be 300 million hryvnias (about US$7.3 million) more."

Details: Zelenskyy also announced further decisions to be made for the city of Kyiv, as well as for the cities of Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts of Ukraine.
