KIEV, April 12 (Xinhua) -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Friday that strengthening air defense capabilities is currently Ukraine's top priority.

Following his visit to the city of Kryvyi Rih in central Ukraine, Zelensky emphasized the need for providing additional air defense systems and missiles to Kiev to protect Ukrainian people and cities.

He called for a political decision from international partners to supply Ukraine with the necessary systems.
