Ukrainian servicemen prepare a US-made MK-19 automatic grenade launcher towards Russian positions on the frontline in eastern Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has repeated his call for international allies to maintain a supply of air defence systems to Ukraine, as it deals with a seemingly relentless Russian bombing campaign.
"Dear partners. Find an opportunity to give Ukraine reliable protection of the sky, a reliable air defence shield," Zelenskyy said in his new address. "When this happens, the main form of Russian terror, missile terror, will become simply impossible." He also stressed the importance of the commitments by allies in support of Ukraine.
