“When Ukraine receives sufficient modern and effective air defence systems, the key element of Russian terror - missile strikes - will cease to function.” I personally thank Germany and Chancellor Scholz for hastening the delivery of IRIS. I applaud the United States and, in particular, President Biden’s decision to provide modern missile defence and air defence. And we believe, Mr President, that medium and long-range systems will enable the development of an echelon defence system,” Zelensky said.

He also emphasised the threat posed by the Russian Federation’s use of Iranian-made Shahed-136 drones. According to Ukrainian intelligence, the invaders ordered 2,400 kamikaze drones from Iran, according to Zelensky.
