He emphasized the need for anti-aircraft systems and weapons in sufficient quantity and quality.
Meanwhile, on Sunday, Ukraine launched a massive drone attack on the Krasnodar region in southern Russia, hitting oil refineries and a military air base. The attack caused a fire at the Slavyansk Sur Kuban refinery, forcing it to stop operations. As a result, Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo and Belgian Defense Minister Léodivine Didonnière are considering sending two to four F-16 fighters to Ukraine as part of new military support for Kiev following heavy losses in their failed counterattack.
