Today I visited the Dnipro region, Kryvyi Rih. I honored the memory of those killed by a Russian ballistic missile strike—exactly one week ago. 19 people were killed by a Russian missile, including 9 children. I’m now in a shelter at the very school where three of those children studied—tragically, they were killed. That same day, there was also a Shahed drone attack, which claimed even more lives. Eternal memory to them all. Today, from right here in Kryvyi Rih, I addressed the participants of the Ramstein meeting in Brussels. Our top priority is air defense: additional systems and missiles for them—to protect lives and our cities. We are counting on our partners’ decisions. The world has the necessary systems, and what’s needed is a political decision for them to work here in Ukraine – in Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Nikopol, Kharkiv, Sumy, Chernihiv, Mykolaiv, Odesa, and many other cities and communities. We discussed this with President Trump—Ukraine is not just asking, we’re ready to purchase these additional systems. Only powerful weapons can truly be relied upon to protect life when you have a neighbor like Russia. So that Ukrainian children can study safely—not just online, but in person, like in America, like across Europe—and not in underground classrooms, which may provide greater safety but which should not be the norm anywhere, but simply in schools. Air defense is our first priority. I thank all our partners who are already helping.
