President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky expressed hope for increased international support in providing the country with means of defense against Russian attacks. Defense issues remain in focus, especially after recent strikes on Ukrainian energy.
Response to Threats
Zelensky emphasized the need for counteractions. He noted that the enemy carefully plans its attacks, using weather conditions for concealment. Ukraine, in turn, is ready to defend itself and respond to these challenges.
Patriot Systems
The President noted the importance of acquiring “Patriot” systems to counter Russian shelling. It is expected that two such systems will arrive in the fall. Zelensky stressed that this is only part of a broader aid package promised by the United States.
Weapons Supplies
Next week, a Ukrainian delegation led by Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko will travel to the United States to discuss weapons supplies. Zelensky expressed hope for a positive outcome of the negotiations.
The President also mentioned a “Mega-deal” with the United States worth about 90 billion dollars, prioritizing air defense systems. Ukraine is ready to invest in its security using various programs and bilateral agreements.
Frozen Assets and Pressure on the Kremlin
Ukraine is counting on the use of frozen Russian assets. Zelensky noted that the process is complex, but positive signals are already present. Russia continues to threaten, and the President is confident that it must be stopped by force.
Zelensky emphasized the importance of protecting 203 key infrastructure objects, including energy and water supply systems. He expressed confidence in the correctness of the chosen path and called on international partners for more active actions.
Previously Stated Threats
At the end of September, Zelensky stated that international partners should not fear mirrored responses to Russia’s actions. He reminded that Moscow may also face the consequences of its aggressive actions, as has already happened in Belgorod.
