"Each of our partners in the world that helps Ukraine with air defense is a true defender of life. And everyone who convinces partners to give Ukraine more range in order to respond to terror fairly is working to prevent exactly such Russian terrorist strikes on Ukrainian cities. Terror must be stopped," Zelensky emphasized.
