Zelenskyy urges 'firm and decisive' response to 'latest act of Russian madness', seeks new air-defence systems

Firstpost  

“Ukraine’s defence minister is already holding meetings with our partners on new air defence systems - exactly the kind of systems that can protect lives from new risks,” Zelenskyy said in an evening video address published on social media. AP Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday urged the world leaders to “respond firmly and decisively” after Russia launched an experimental, nuclear-capable ballstic missile at the Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Thursday. He also called upon the Western partners for updated air defence systems after Russia boasted its new “Oreshnik” hypersonic missile is unstoppable by air defences and has no equivalent anywhere in the world. “Ukraine’s defence minister is already holding meetings with our partners on new air defence systems - exactly the kind of systems that can protect lives from new risks,” Zelenskyy said.
