The chief of the Presidential Office briefed the interlocutor on the frontline developments and exchanged with Cattler the views on the military threats posed by Russia and its capabilities to continue launching missiles and drones at Ukraine.
Yermak emphasized the need to further strengthen Ukraine's air defenses with modern capabilities available to NATO allies to defend the Ukrainian sky from Russian strikes.
He also expressed hope that Ukraine would receive from our partners as soon as possible more armored vehicles, primarily main battle tanks, and other weapons needed to liberate the temporarily occupied territories.
