乌克兰总统泽伦斯基表示，俄乌战争的关键战场已由陆地和海洋转移至空中。在乌军成功阻挡俄国陆路攻势并迫使俄国黑海舰队撤退后，制空权将决定战争的最终走向，而防空系统（特别是反弹道飞弹防御）目前仍是乌克兰最致命的弱点。

泽伦斯基正前往土耳其参加北约峰会，将游说盟友提供更多防空系统，并推动合作授权乌克兰自主生产反弹道防御系统。他强调，欧洲各国不应再忽视此问题，应共享技术与工业产能，以应对防御物资供不应求的现状。

与此同时，乌克兰正加强对俄罗斯本土及克里米亚的远程无人机袭击，甚至深入西伯利亚等地。泽伦斯基认为，对莫斯科和圣彼得堡等大城市持续且大规模的打击，将在心理与经济上对普丁施加关键压力，从而迫使其改变战争算计。

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the decisive phase of the war with Russia has shifted from land and sea to the air. After successfully stopping Russian ground advances and driving the Russian fleet away from the western Black Sea, Zelenskyy argued that the battle in the sky will determine the outcome of the conflict, though air defense, especially anti-ballistic defense, remains Ukraine's critical vulnerability.

Zelenskyy is attending the NATO summit in Turkey to urge partners to supply more air-defense systems and help Ukraine produce its own anti-ballistic missile defenses. He emphasized that European nations should stop neglecting this issue and instead share technologies and industrial capabilities, as there will never be enough Patriot systems for everyone.

Meanwhile, Ukraine is intensifying long-range drone strikes deep inside Russian territory and Crimea, reaching as far as Siberia. Zelenskyy believes that sustained, large-scale attacks targeting Moscow and St. Petersburg will create significant psychological and economic pressure on Putin, ultimately forcing him to alter his calculations and end the war.
