Quote: "The world can put an end to Russian terror – but only if leaders' political will is strong enough. Two Patriot systems in Kharkiv will radically alter the situation.

Air defence systems in our other cities, as well as adequate support for our forces on the battlefield, will assure the end of Russian terror.

I thank all of the leaders and states who recognise this and are taking significant action to bring the war to a conclusion and hold the terrorists accountable."
