Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has highlighted the country's need for additional air defenses to safeguard its grain export routes and regions bordering Russia. This comes after Russia conducted a significant drone attack on Ukraine. Zelenskiy mentioned plans to receive foreign partners' support in supplying vessels to accompany cargo ship convoys from Ukrainian ports. The president also emphasized progress in addressing air defense shortages through partnerships and domestic production capacity. The situation has become critical as Ukraine, a major grain exporter, relies on secure routes for its shipments via the Black Sea.
