Zelensky Appeals to Trump for Air Defense Missiles Following Intense Russian Strikes on Kyiv
Share:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has written to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump requesting Patriot PAC-3 missiles to strengthen Kyiv's air defenses against Russian attacks. The appeal comes after one of the most intense bombardments of the Ukrainian capital in recent weeks. Moscow this week threatened new strikes on Kyiv and called on foreign diplomats to leave the city, escalating tensions as the conflict continues. The request for advanced air defense systems underscores Ukraine's urgent need for protection against Russia's ongoing missile and drone campaign targeting civilian and military infrastructure across the country.
