Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged NATO to show an 'equal attitude to all partners' on Friday amid NATO countries showing the efficiency of their air shield, successfully destroying Iran's drones and rockets in the Middle East on April 13.

"The world has seen so far the alliance which does not have equals in countering terror. Israel was not left alone and almost one hundred per cent of the strikes against it were neutralised," stated Zelensky.

The politician highlighted that assistance for Ukraine 'is still very limited'. "We're still waiting for new support packages from the United States - American support has been in question for too long," he elaborated.

"It depends fully on your choice. The choice of whether life is indeed equally valuable everywhere. Choice whether you have an equal attitude to all partners. The choice of whether we indeed are allies," expressed Zelensky.

He addressed the partners, reiterating that Ukraine needs at least seven more Patriots or equivalent air defence systems, which 'can save many lives and really change the situation.'

On April 13, Ukraine's president thanked German leader Olaf Scholz for the decision to supply another Patriot air defence system to Ukraine. Berlin has so far supplied two of these systems to Kiev.

Moscow has repeatedly accused Kiev's allies of escalating the conflict, stating that deliveries of weaponry will only prolong the fighting and will not change the outcome. 

Moscow launched a military offensive in Ukraine in late February 2022 after recognising the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR), claiming that Kiev had failed to guarantee their special status under the 2014 Minsk Agreements, and urging Ukraine to declare itself officially neutral and give assurances that it would never join NATO. 

Kiev denounced the Russian action as an invasion. Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky imposed martial law throughout the country, announcing a general mobilisation, while the EU and the US imposed several rounds of sanctions on Moscow.
