In a recent address, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine will be receiving new support packages from its international partners, following critical discussions held at the Munich Security Conference. Focused on enhancing the country's air defense capabilities, these packages are a priority, particularly missiles meant to protect against ballistic threats. Zelenskyy highlighted the urgent need for such support as air defense has become a pressing issue for Ukraine this winter, and discussions were held with various world leaders on this matter.

Zelenskyy expressed optimism regarding the agreements discussed in Munich, particularly emphasizing a meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. He noted that the ongoing war has imposed heavy security demands and that bolstering Ukraine's defense is paramount. In addition to air defense, the upcoming meetings are expected to address the crucial energy packages needed for recovery from Russian strikes, ensuring that Ukraine can effectively respond to various challenges on the ground.

The Ukraine government is looking forward to the meetings next week where these support measures will be consolidated. There is a keen focus on not only immediate defensive needs but also long-term recovery efforts aimed at restoring critical infrastructure damaged by Russian attacks. This new assistance underscores the international community's commitment to supporting Ukraine in its ongoing struggle, amidst heightened tensions in the region.
