Ukraine's partners are already taking steps to strengthen Ukraine's air defence.

As Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his evening video address on 5 July, these are Germany and the United States.

"We have set ourselves the task of doubling the strength of our air shield, and today is the beginning of this. I thank Germany for the Patriot that is already in Ukraine. This is great news. And another good news: I thank the United States for another step to strengthen our air defence, our Patriots," the President said.

Zelenskyy added that "we are working further, and there will definitely be new solutions." 

A meeting was also held on Ukraine's missile programme. "This is a matter of global stability and security - so that everyone in the Kremlin knows that they will not go unpunished," the head of state said.
