Reuters. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Tuesday (June 24) reiterated that Ukraine still needed help with air defence.
Zelenskiy was speaking after he arrived for a defence forum ahead of the NATO summit in The Hague.
The two-day gathering is intended to signal to Russian President Vladimir Putin that NATO is united, despite U.S. President Donald Trump's previous criticism of the alliance, and determined to expand and upgrade its defences to deter any attack from Moscow.
Zelenskiy said he planned to meet Trump in The Hague - although Zelenskiy will not take part in the summit itself, as NATO officials have sought to avoid any clash between Trump and other leaders over the war in Ukraine.
Zelenskiy told a Sky News interview broadcast on Tuesday that the two leaders' teams were working on organisational details and the timing of the meeting.
Russia has cited its neighbor's desire to join the U.S.-led transatlantic alliance as one of the reasons why it invaded Ukraine in 2022.
