1. UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY SPEAKING TO CAMERA (Ukrainian) (English subtitles in video) KYIV, UKRAINE - NOV. 3, 2025: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced Monday, Nov. 3, that additional U.S.-made Patriot air defense systems have arrived in Ukraine and are being put into operation, marking another step in strengthening the country’s defense against ongoing "Russian attacks."

“Today, we can already say there is a good result for our air defense – Ukraine now has more Patriots,” Zelenskyy said in a statement.

“I would like to thank Chancellor Merz, I thank Germany, and everyone who helps. Our agreements have been fulfilled.”

Zelenskyy emphasized that while the newly delivered Patriot systems will boost Ukraine’s defenses, more are needed to fully protect “key infrastructure sites and our cities across the entire territory of our state.”

He added that Kyiv is working not only with allied governments but also directly with manufacturers to secure additional air defense systems and missiles.

Russia started its "special military operation" in Ukraine in February 2022 to "denazify" and "demilitarize" Ukraine.

According to its memorandum for the settlement of the conflict, Moscow has demanded a ban on Kyiv joining military alliances and withdrawal of Ukraine's troops from Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson, the regions it annexed after a referendum in September 2022, among others.

Ukraine has called the terms an "ultimatum" and has called for a ceasefire as a prerequisite for meaningful talks.
