According to intelligence reports, Russia is already preparing new attacks on Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
According to the head of state, a Ramstein meeting is scheduled to take place in just a few days, and it must deliver tangible results.
Zelenskyy stressed that the meeting would send a strong signal to Russia that Ukraine will not be left without support.
"Our priorities are air defense, and our partners need to focus on missiles for Patriots and NASAMS. The Russian ballistic missile threat remains very serious. Intelligence reports indicate that Russia is preparing new attacks. We will work with our partners to increase drone production as well. We have the potential, and their current deployment on the front line is effective," Zelenskyy stressed.
The head of state also confirmed that the Russian army lost more than 50,000 soldiers killed and wounded in October.
He added that Ukraine should achieve similarly high figures this month, in November.
"There was also a briefing today by Mykhailo Drapatyi, particularly on strikes involving sanctions. We are now achieving results on most days. Overall, as of today, we have already taken out more than 55% of Russia's oil refining capacity. This is an entirely justified response to Russia's refusal to de-escalate and its attacks on our energy infrastructure," Zelenskyy said.
Earlier, it was reported that Ukraine had disrupted operations at nine of Russia's largest oil refineries.
We also reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a new attack on Moscow on the evening of November 15.
