President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has held a conversation with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

The head of state announced this on social media.

The two discussed measures to strengthen Ukraine’s air defence and the supply of interceptor missiles.

According to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukraine continues to work with all partners capable of helping to provide the means to defend against Russian air attacks on the civilian population and infrastructure.

During the conversation, the two sides discussed the current security situation and coordinated further steps with the states that hold the necessary missiles and are able to provide them to Ukraine.

The President stressed the need to remove bureaucratic obstacles and take the necessary political decisions as quickly as possible in order to speed up deliveries.

“Quite literally, every single day, people’s lives here in Ukraine depend on the resolve of our partners in Europe and America,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

The head of state thanked Mark Rutte for his readiness to seek opportunities to strengthen Ukraine’s air defence and assured him that coordination with partners would continue.
