Berlin: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday pleaded for more air defence help to stop Russian attacks as he began an intense week of diplomatic meetings with Western partners.
"Russia's greatest strategic advantage over Ukraine is superiority in the sky. It is missile and bomb terror that helps Russian troops advance on the ground," Zelensky told a reconstruction conference in Berlin.
"Air defence is the answer," he said.
Zelensky, who is also due to address the German parliament, will join the heads of the G7 developed nations later this week in Italy.
He then heads to Switzerland for peace talks over the weekend on the war in Ukraine. Russia has not been invited.
