"We have given the details of this package to our friends – we hope for their support," he said .

This includes various types of air defense systems, including Patriot, and missiles for them. It is also planned to purchase artillery, defense systems and other types of weapons necessary for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Regarding Patriot systems, Zelenskyy noted that he has a positive dialogue with US President Donald Trump. Ukraine's request is for 10 systems and the corresponding volume of missiles for them.
