He wrote about this on Twitter.

The minister asked to provide Ukraine with American Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems.

“We share the view that Russia bears full responsibility for its missile terror and its consequences on the territory of Ukraine, Poland, and Moldova. I thanked the US for their crucial defense assistance and emphasized that deliveries of air defense systems to Ukraine need to be sped up. NASAMS have proved their efficiency already. I am also convinced that the time for Patriots has come,” Kuleba tweeted. 

  • On the morning of November 17, Russian troops shelled the city of Dnipro. The authorities report several strikes on the infrastructure, 15 people, including a 15-year-old girl, were injured.
