JAKARTA - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has reiterated his request to US President Donald Trump to supply his country with long-range weapons if Russia continues to reject the ceasefire.
Zelenskyy referred to the " winning plan" he presented last year to high-ranking officials from President Joe Biden's administration at the time, as well as to Trump, who was at the time running for president.
He made the statement during a joint briefing in Kyiv with Finnish President Alexander Stubb.
During the meeting, Zelenskyy also urged Kyiv allies to reconsider their own air defense capabilities after drone attacks on Polish airspace which Warsaw said belonged to Russia.
Speaking in Kyiv with Finnish President Alexander Stubb who was visiting, Zelenskyy said Ukraine was "open and ready" to provide support for the efforts of its allies.
Ukraine has been parrying a lot of airstrikes since Russia started a war with its neighbors, using a series of weapons supplied by Ukraine and foreigners ranging from old machine guns to advanced missiles.
Zelenskyy said countries like Poland should explore similar-layered approaches as missile systems such as US-made Patriots are too expensive to use against cheap drones used by Russia.
"No one in the world has enough missiles to shoot down all types of drones," Zelenskyy said on Thursday, September 11.

With the support of its NATO allies on Wednesday, Poland shot down several drones entering its airspace.
The action, according to the president of Poland, was a provocation of Russia aimed at testing the responses of Poland and NATO.
Zelenskyy said Ukraine, which relies heavily on the Western long-range air defense system, has developed a sophisticated domestic approach to counter Russia's attacks.
According to him, Ukraine is now in a position to provide direction to its allies regarding these matters.
Zelenskyy said Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk had agreed to send military representatives to Ukraine on the matter.
