Volodymyr Zelensky

use, sorry, like, you know, in a very polite way, use opportunity to speak with us.

It was very important for Ukraine.

Me, for Americans, not to forget about us, I understand with all the challenges in the Middle East, but this is the biggest war during these 80 years, the biggest in Europe.

And that's why we, not that's why, this is so big, so many losses, human lives, we need to stop it.

we will not just silently die, and we will respond, and we will be stronger and stronger each day, day by day.

That's why we showed that our drones will come to them.

We will not just silently die.

And we will respond, and we will be stronger and stronger each day, day by day.

That's why we show that our drones will come to them.

It was 90 missiles and more than 600 Iranian drones.

So it was very difficult to destroy it.

We used all our weapons, what we have, what we produce.

And of course, we used anti-ballistic missiles.

This is the biggest deficit for us.

We understand that much of the world's tension is currently focused on the war in Iran, but we must also end the war here in Europe, a bloody conflict that has now been raging at full scale for a fifth year.

The sooner we can strengthen protection against ballistic missiles, the sooner we can make diplomacy work.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky hopes Ukraine will receive the first tranche of the massive loan by the end of spring or the beginning of summer.

Responding to NPR in a voice message, Zelensky said this money will be used for strengthening the Ukrainian military.

It is social support for our people, he says, support for our army and the production of drones, electronic warfare systems.

Hungary and Slovakia opposed the multi-billion loan for Ukraine for months.
