"Every day, Russia attacks our cities and communities with drones and missiles. Our energy sector has suffered a lot of damage, and restoring everything is very difficult. We discussed with the President how Portugal can support our energy system and help protect lives in Ukraine. We also talked about our opportunities for joint weapons production. We very much hope there will be further steps in support," Zelensky said.
