During a conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine faces a heightened threat of further Russian missile strikes in the coming days.
According to Ukrinform, Zelensky announced this on Facebook.
"It was right during Russia's ballistic attack on Kyiv today that we spoke with the President of France. Thank you, Emmanuel, for your support," Zelensky said.
He noted that additional air defense packages were clearly needed and that Ukraine was working with all its partners to secure the necessary decisions.
"Unfortunately, the threat of further missile strikes remains particularly high in the coming days. It is important to step up pressure on Russia in response, and bold, joint steps must be taken," Zelensky emphasized.
