In response to the intensified aerial campaign, the president emphasized that reinforcing Ukraine’s air defense capabilities – particularly anti-ballistic systems – remains a primary objective. He also advocated for the expansion of the international “Drone Deal” framework and urged allies to apply more stringent sanctions against Moscow. “Sanctions against Russia and its partners in this war must be enforced exactly where they will be felt the most,” Zelensky said. “Strong and prompt steps are required to force Russia toward ending this war.”
