President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a phone call with Prime Minister of Norway Jonas Gahr Støre.
The Head of State thanked the Prime Minister for his support and words of condolence over the loss of Ukrainians caused by Russia’s massive attack the day before.
“Twenty-three people were killed by Russian missiles and drones, and another 151 were wounded. It is important that Ukraine is not alone when Russia carries out such terrorist strikes,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
The leaders discussed supplies for Ukraine’s air defense. It is important that Norway is ready to help in this area.
Particular attention was given to efforts to ensure that Europe develops its own anti-ballistic capabilities.
“We must fully accomplish this shared task and provide Europe with its own system strong enough to protect against ballistic threats. When Europe is protected against ballistic missiles, it will boost confidence not just for someone alone on our continent, but truly for all Europeans,” the Head of State emphasized.
The President of Ukraine and the Prime Minister of Norway also discussed preparations for upcoming meetings, including special formats that will take place in the near future.
