Zelensky: Partners Have Begun To“Hold Back” Missiles

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The head of state announced this while answering questions from journalists, according to Ukrinform.

“In principle, it was expected that Russia would attack and intimidate Europe with its drones, etc. (...) I have a feeling that one of the reasons is not only to test the Europeans' air defense systems, but also to hold back [missiles] air defense systems for themselves before winter,” the head of state said.

As reported by Ukrinform, President Volodymyr Zelensky called on the United States to put more pressure on Russia because Putin does not yet“feel the pressure that he should feel.”
