Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on allies this Sunday (12) to honor all promises to supply weapons to Ukraine, including those to combat Russian airstrikes.
Zelensky said that last week, Russian forces launched hundreds of strikes against Ukraine and that nearly 700 aerial bombs and more than 600 attack drones were used.
Ukrainian air defenses shot down 60 of 94 drones launched by Russia overnight, the Air Force said on Sunday. She said 34 drones were “lost,” in reference to Ukraine’s use of electronic warfare to redirect Russian drones.
“Every week, the Russian war continues only because the Russian military maintains its ability to terrorize Ukraine and exploit its superiority in the sky,” Zelensky said on the Telegram messaging app.
He called on Ukraine’s allies to comply with the agreements already made.
“The decisions taken at the NATO summit in Washington, as well as those adopted during the Ramstein meetings regarding air defenses for Ukraine, have not yet been fully implemented,” Zelensky said.

Ukraine’s leader said this week that he had discussed with his partners and the United States the possibility of granting Ukraine licenses to produce air defense systems and missiles.
