Volodymyr Zelenskyy: “We held the UDCG meeting and received confirmation from nine countries regarding their contributions to the PURL program.

“These are missiles for Patriot systems worth more than $1 billion. The EU will step up sanctions – this is unanimous. The EU stands united – they’re doing a great job.

“And, by the by, we’ve done a lot to achieve this, as our partners also acknowledge. We agreed on additional F-16s; we urgently need to train pilots.

“Putin doesn’t want to stop, and all his talk about seeking peace is nothing but lies. All partners, all Europeans, feel this.

“But everyone is confident that together we will stop him. There are two key points: together, and we will stop him.

“We need air defense and money for the army. Our partners agree – we will all work on this.”
