Zelensky and NATO Chief Rutte Discuss New Air Defence Supplies in Brussels

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Brussels on Thursday. NATO is the military alliance of the United States, Canada and European countries. The two discussed Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure and the possibility of new deliveries of air defence weapons to Ukraine.

Air defence systems are used to protect cities and critical infrastructure from aerial attacks. The topic is therefore tied to Ukraine's ability to shield its energy sector during the war.

The source does not specify which types of weapons, quantities or timelines were discussed, nor whether any new decisions were made after the meeting.
