He added that these actions save thousands of lives and allow Ukraine's economy to function, "however, we require more protection, specifically a fully realistic number of air defense systems that our partners possess."

"Patriots and other systems must do what they were designed for: protect lives, not collect dust in storage. And I want to thank everyone in the world who understands this and helps us save lives. Russian terror must lose," Zelensky said.
