Quote: "And the teams – ours and those of our partners – have already started preparing for Ramstein. In a week and a half, in October, at the Ramstein meeting, we must decide together with other leaders on joint steps and a common vision of how to increase the pressure on Russia for this war and for the sake of peace. A just peace."

Details: Zelenskyy pointed out that Russia uses about a hundred guided aerial bombs to strike Ukraine every day. "And it’s a constant reminder to all our partners who can help that Ukraine needs more long-range weapons, more air defence systems and more sanctions against Russia," he said.

• It was reported on 5 September that Zelenskyy intends to personally request further arms supplies from Western partners at the Ramstein meeting to keep up the fight against Russia.
