00:01Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asked US President Donald Trump for more ammunition for its Patriot air defense systems to counter
00:09Russian ballistic missiles.
00:11The request comes just days after one of the worst combined missile and drone attacks launched against Kyiv since Russia
00:18invaded Ukraine more than four years ago.
00:20We understand that a lot of global attention is now in the war in Iran. We need to stop the
00:27war here in Europe.
00:29The war is very slow, which lasts for five years on a full-scale level.
00:36And the faster we can give more ammunition from ballistic missiles, the faster we can do it so that the
00:44diplomat worked.
00:56The start of the Iran war has shifted Washington's attention and resources away from Ukraine.
01:02Despite having developed a long-range drone interception system itself,
01:06Zelensky's appeal underscores Kyiv's continued dependence on its western allies to down Russian attacks.
01:12Thank you very much.
