WASHINGTON: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Tuesday (July 28) said he shared Ukraine's need for anti-ballistic missile systems and interceptors with U.S. President Donald Trump and U.S. senators during his visit to Washington.

Zelenskiy told reporters that Ukraine had drones that could destroy Iranian- and Russian-built drones, but needed more weapons to defend against ballistic missiles.
