Zelensky repeats plea
The Herald|January 06, 2025
President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he will again call on allies to boost his country's air defences at this week's meeting in Germany, as United States president-elect Donald Trump takes over later this month with a vow to end the almost three-year war quickly.

Mr Zelensky has revealed that dozens of partner countries will participate in the meeting at Ramstein Air Base in Germany on Thursday, "including those who can help boost our capabilities not only to defend against missiles but also against guided bombs and Russian aviation".

Ukraine's president added: "We will discuss this with them and continue to persuade them. The task remains unchanged: strengthening our air defence." US Defence Secretary Lloyd J Austin will attend the meeting.
