Zelensky urged Ukrainians to return home

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged Ukrainians to return from abroad already now to rebuild the country.

“After the war ends, everyone will come to rebuild Ukraine; there will be places, and there will be security. But we are already in favor of Ukrainians coming from abroad already now,” said the Ukrainian leader.

It has also become known that Germany will transfer the third Patriot and IRIS-T systems to Ukraine “in the coming weeks and months,” Scholz said at a conference on Ukraine’s reconstruction.

Cheetah air defense systems, missiles and ammunition will be handed over. Scholz urged the other countries to strengthen Ukraine’s air defenses as well.

Zelenskyy said at the conference that Ukraine needs at least seven Patriots to shut down major urban agglomerations.

Information has also emerged that Ukraine will receive 1.5 billion euros in July from the EU for revenues from frozen Russian assets.

This was announced by the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, at a forum in Berlin. 90% of this amount will be used for the purchase of weapons.

And in June, 1.9 billion euros will be allocated under the Ukraine Facility Program for Kyiv’s approval of the reform plan.

In particular, reforming the justice sector and anti-corruption reform.

This is the same €4.5 billion program over several years that Hungary blocked in the winter.
