“I want to thank all the partners of our state who respond to Russian shelling with their readiness to provide more air defense systems, more weapons that can protect against terrorists. Now we have returned from Brussels with new agreements on air defense. Germany has also handed over an additional IRIS-T system - thank you,” Zelensky said.

He noted that Russian madness should not be perceived by the world as something commonplace - “everyday terror deserves more and more pressure on the terrorist.”

“Russia must be held accountable, and even if they are led by a completely inadequate person, the Russian state must feel what reality is and how reality can punish international criminals by putting pressure on it. More sanctions against Russia are needed,” the President said.

As reported, the heads of government of Germany and Estonia discussed assistance to Ukraine during talks in Berlin on Friday.
