armenpress.am Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz discussed the supply of American Patriot air defense systems to Kyiv during a phone conversation. According to "Armenpress," Zelensky made this statement on his microblog on X.
"I spoke with German Chancellor Merz. I am grateful for the support and assistance provided to our people and our country. Germany is one of the world leaders in protecting lives, and we deeply appreciate that. Now the main priority is the missiles for the Patriot systems to protect our people from Russian ballistic attacks," Zelensky wrote.
He stated that the Patriot air defense systems were the main topic of conversation with the German Chancellor, as Russia is making its final bet on missile strikes against Ukraine.
According to the Ukrainian president, the situation on the front line was also discussed with Chancellor Merz. "I informed him about the latest developments and our results. Now, on the eve of America's Independence Day, Putin has decided to lie to the world and to the President of the United States about the situation on the front. He claims that Russian forces have allegedly captured Konstantinovka in Donbas. Of course, that is not true.
This is just another Russian lie, an attempt to create some news. If Konstantinovka were under Russian control, then perhaps Putin would have no problem meeting me there to find a diplomatic way to finally end this war. But the fact is that he will not cross the front line; the reality is very different from Putin's words," Zelensky wrote. He also thanked all the soldiers for defending Ukraine and the Ukrainian people.
