Ukraine Recovery Conference. Volodymyr Zelensky: We can drive the Russians off our land
Ukraine's partners met in Germany at the Ukraine Recovery Conference. President Zelensky argues that Russia must be deprived of its tactical advantages and no longer have air superiority. In the center of attention is the city of Kharkiv, in the direction of which the Russian army had launched an offensive, although spirits have calmed down, the city is under artillery bombardment. The priority is anti-aircraft systems.
"We can drive the Russians off our land. We reclaimed the Black Sea for Ukraine. We demonstrated that thanks to modern air defense systems, we can destroy Russian missiles and drones. The important thing here is to deprive Russia of its advantages", says the leader from Kyiv, Volodymyr Zelensky.
"Strength, firm principles are the necessary conditions for Putin to recognize that he will achieve no military victory and no imposed peace. He must stop his brutal campaign and withdraw his troops," German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said.
"Kharkov and Ukraine need our support, this is what brings us to Berlin. Putin must lose, Ukraine must succeed. We must help Ukraine to rise from the ashes and be master of its own destiny", said the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.
Compared to last month, now Kharkiv is quieter, but in the last two days Russian artillery attacks more often.
"It is very important to have weapons, to be able to defend Ukraine and the city of Kharkiv. The priority for us is the anti-aircraft defense systems, capable of taking down everything flying towards the city of Kharkiv", said the mayor of the city of Kharkiv, Ihor Terehov.
The objective of the conference is to ensure the urgent needs of Ukraine. Prime Minister Dorin Recean also participates in the meeting. The Republic of Moldova must become a strategic center for the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, Prime Minister Recean wrote on social media.
