KYIV: President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Tuesday he plans to discuss Ukraine’s desperate need for systems to defend against Russia’s deadly ballistic strikes when he meets US President Donald Trump at the NATO summit in Turkiye.
“We see the weakness of Russia — we feel it. But it’s not enough. We need more pressure, more anti-ballistic and more sanctions on Russia,” Zelensky told reporters as he spoke alongside NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Ankara.
