Russia continues to place far greater hope in missiles and in killing people on the frontline than in diplomacy. This must be changed. The key to this is to continue supporting Ukrainian air defense, and the most important element today is protection against Russian ballistic missiles and other types of missiles. Now, because of the war in Iran, the supply of missiles for Patriots has become more problematic. On Tuesday, I sent a special letter on this matter to the President of the United States and the United States Congress – a detailed letter covering all aspects of what is needed and how the supply of a sufficient number of Patriots – missiles and systems – can influence the end of the war. We hope for a response, and I am grateful to all senators and members of Congress, to all our friends in the United States who are sympathetic to my appeal. From a joint press conference with Ulf Kristersson. (2/3)
