"You can’t say much about intelligence in public, but you have a lot to thank for. And we need more of this kind of work, more results. We need more hits on Russian military targets. Exact coordinates, exact damage. Ukraine needs more influence on global policy towards our country and the war. We need world leaders to have more real information about what is happening," Zelenskyy noted.
