KYIV, Ukraine, June 2, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday called on Europe to develop its own air defence systems and urged more support from Washington after Russia's latest deadly drone and missile barrage.

"Europe needs its own anti-ballistic defence so that this war can finally be brought to an end. And assistance from the United States in supplying missiles for Patriot systems is absolutely necessary," Zelensky wrote on social media.
