"We discussed the need of assistance this year and the new American package, which is still under discussion, critical issues. Also air defense, namely Patriots. And the third, key question, emphasized the importance of the range of our weapons, including ATACMS at 300 kilometers, for which, unfortunately, there is no decision yet," he said in a video message on Friday.
