Zelensky called on international partners to strengthen air defense after the missile strike

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, appealed to international partners for the urgent strengthening of air defense after yet another missile strike by Russia on Zaporizhzhia, resulting in the deaths of three people.
