President Zelensky expressed gratitude toward the United States and Norway for supplying the NASAMS air defense system and missile packages, as well as France and Germany for providing additional surface-to-air missiles.

The frequent assaults on residential areas and vital facilities underscore a troubling escalation that demands heightened global attention and assistance. Western allies’ support plays a pivotal role in enhancing Ukraine’s defense capabilities and protecting its population from further aggression.
