"This is precisely the kind of aerial terror against which Ukraine is calling for joint defence - so that no one has to scramble combat aircraft in haste and feel Russia's pressure on their borders. Now is the time to implement the joint protection of our European skies with a multi-layered air defence system. All the technologies for this are already in place."
"The only reason Russia can afford all this is because it does not feel pain. Until Russia feels truly significant losses - above all economic losses - it will continue to avoid genuine diplomacy and ending the war. It is crucial that the world respond to every strike. It is crucial that Europe, the United States, the G7, and the G20 do not grant Russia time - time for war. Strong sanctions are needed. Strong tariffs on Russian trade are needed. Strong protection of life is needed."
Russian bombing of Zaporizhzhya injured at least thirteen civilians, including two children. Ukraine calls for a multi-layered European air defence to prevent aerial terror and to avoid ad-hoc scrambling of combat aircraft along borders. Existing air-defence technologies are cited as ready, but require investments, determination, and coordinated action from partners. Reference is made to Russian "suicide drones" violating Poland's airspace and to regional military alignments. Calls include stronger economic pressure on Russia—significant sanctions and tariffs—to inflict losses that would incentivize diplomacy, and urgent, coordinated responses from Europe, the United States, the G7, and the G20 to each strike.
