President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has said that Ukraine should receive advanced weapons from partners.

"As much as we can, we shoot down Russian missiles. We destroy their planes and helicopters. And this despite the fact that we do not yet have adequate anti-missile weapons, advanced weapons. We don't have enough combat aircraft. But we have a goal, pure and fair, to protect our people, our state," he said in a video message on Friday afternoon.

Zelensky recalled that "Russian troops continued mean shelling of our peaceful cities and communities. Lviv, Kyiv city and the region, Zhytomyr region, Sumy region, Kharkiv city and the region, Chernihiv, cities of Donbas – Severodonetsk, Kramatorsk, our Mariupol... Rocket strikes, air bombs, Grad multiple rocket launchers.

"Of course, we will continue to do everything we can. Let us remind some Western leaders even louder that it will be a moral defeat for them, it will be the destruction of their prestige, if Ukraine does not receive advanced weapons and actually save the lives of thousands of our people. Russian missiles will not fall from shotguns, with which some are trying to replace really useful supplies," the President of Ukraine said.
