Key Points:
- President Zelenskyy highlighted that Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, and Nordic countries are providing Ukraine with missile support, though exact quantities remain unspecified.
- Zelenskyy noted that South Korea and Japan could assist with air defense but are restricted by their domestic laws, while Ukraine also hoped to purchase air defense systems from Israel, which is currently not possible.
- Ukraine faces a shortage of missiles for its Patriot air defense systems, hampering its ability to fully repel Russian ballistic missile attacks.
- Zelenskyy criticized international partners for slow delivery of anti-ballistic missile capabilities and revealed that missile deliveries for Ukraine’s air defense have decreased threefold compared to 2025.
- He suggested that Western countries might be limiting missile supplies to pressure Ukraine into making compromises in the conflict.
