Summary
Zelenskyy urged Ukrainians to use shelters, saying Putin’s political, battlefield and physical weakening could trigger heavier Russian missile and drone attacks.
Nine countries have now confirmed participation in the PURL program, a US-NATO framework under which European allies will buy more than $1 billion in Patriot missiles for Ukraine.
He said partners increasingly see that Putin has no intention of stopping and that his claims of seeking peace are false, even as Kyiv remains ready for negotiations.
Zelenskyy also pressed Europe to fully tighten sanctions, confiscate Russian assets and expand funding for Ukraine as Moscow signaled it would keep up large-scale strikes.
