UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak spoke with Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Zelensky. Meanwhile, Sunak confirmed the military assistance to Zelensky.

Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told NATO defense ministers that they need air defense to deter Russian attacks. For this he has sought the cooperation of NATO.

At the moment, Ukraine needs at least seven Patriot air defense systems to prevent Russia’s increasing air strikes, he said, adding that this issue will determine whether Ukraine and NATO are allies.

Zelensky told NATO defense ministers that true allies will be judged by whether NATO countries are willing to provide more military aid to troubled Ukraine.

Zelensky described the situation with Western aid as extremely limited. He also mentioned that Western countries continue to support Israel.
