Ruble collapses +++ Ukraine wants to join the OECD +++ The news about Russia’s war in Ukraine in the star ticker.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has reiterated his appeal for the delivery of modern missile defense systems in the war against Russia. The leadership in Kyiv will not slack off in their efforts to obtain sufficient numbers of these weapons, he said in a video message on Tuesday. Meanwhile, renewed rocket attacks were reported from Ukrainian locations. Wednesday marks the 133rd day of war in Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion at the end of February.
Zelenskyy said Russia had again attacked targets in the country. Some of the rockets were shot down by Ukrainian air defense forces. Creating protection against rocket attacks before the end of this year is an extreme challenge for the state. “But fulfilling this task depends not only on us, but also on our partners’ understanding of our basic needs.”
