Zelensky presses Western allies for fresh support as Russia threat looms
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is pressing Western allies for more support packages, warning of Russia’s looming ballistic threat. In a video address on X, he said Kyiv still lacks Patriot defense systems and has taken “significant hits.” He also warned Ukraine’s energy sector will be targeted in the coming months, making winter extremely difficult.
Zelensky made the appeal Saturday in a video address posted on X. He told Western allies that Ukraine needs additional support packages as the threat of Russian ballistic strikes hangs over the country. Kyiv, he said, is still missing Patriot defense systems.
Without those systems, Ukraine has taken what Zelensky called “significant hits.” He warned that the energy sector will be targeted in the coming months. That, he said, will make winter “extremely difficult.”
November will bring a diplomatic blitz. Zelensky said Ukraine will be represented in several formats, including the G7, the Coalition of the Willing and the Ramstein summits. He said his team is working to make every one of those meetings as productive as possible.
The address laid out Ukraine’s priorities ahead of those talks. Zelensky’s message centered on air defense and energy resilience as winter approaches.
