In Washington, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi held a meeting with representatives of the defense company Raytheon, which produces, among other things, Patriot systems. The head of state thanked for these systems and emphasized that thanks to them it was possible to save many lives of Ukrainians. Volodymyr Zelenskyi informed about the current situation in Ukraine, in particular on the battlefield.

According to the President, Russia is not achieving any of its goals, which is why it is intensifying attacks on civilian infrastructure and people, in particular, on the energy system.

The company's representatives expressed their condolences to the Ukrainians who lost their relatives and friends due to the Russian strikes, and assured of their readiness to support Ukraine from their side.

The head of state emphasized that Ukraine needs to strengthen its anti-aircraft defense systems and missiles, and spoke about specific needs.
