Russia is testing everything in Ukraine that can be used against other European countries, he said. It started with gas wars and ended with a full-scale invasion, with missile terror and burned Ukrainian cities.
Ukraine must also defeat Russia for other countries to be safe, Zelensky added. The sooner this happens, the less damage and suffering there will be for all European families, all European countries.
The Ukrainian leader also reiterated his gratitude for the U.S.-supplied HIMARS multiple rocket launchers, about five months after the war began.
At the same time, he insisted on receiving air defense systems. There are already agreements with international partners, but in view of Russian attacks, a completely different speed and level of protection is needed, Zelensky insisted.
