"There are priorities": Zelenskyy named three expectations from "Ramstein"

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expects decisions on missile defense systems, long-range weapons, and artillery for Ukraine to be made at the "Ramstein" format meeting on October 11.

The Head of State announced this before the meeting of defense ministers of NATO countries in Brussels.

"There are priorities: air defense systems, a defense shield. These are not just words, but very concrete things, and we need them in very specific geographical points of our land to preserve the energy grid, people, grain and its supply routes to Africa, Asia, the world," Zelenskyy said.

He also stated the importance of long-range missiles and weapons for Ukraine, "because we need it for the main reason - to push Russia out of our land."

The President also noted that Ukrainian defenders also need artillery to defend against the enemy.

"And the third thing is how to defend, how to simply stand and defend every day. It's not about a counteroffensive. A counteroffensive is one direction. But we also need to defend because on the other side, there's Russia, a large army of terrorists," the Head of State explained.
