While in Oslo, Zelenskyy held talks with Store, with the two leaders also meeting defence industry executives to discuss advancing a European anti-ballistic system codenamed FREYJA.<\/p>\n
In a social media post, Zelenskyy said the meeting focused on dividing responsibilities between governments and defence companies and agreeing on steps needed to produce the first practical results from the programme.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe expect to see the first practical results. I am grateful to Norway for hosting this meeting. I thank our partners for their readiness to work together. Protecting Europe\u2019s skies is our shared responsibility,\u201d said the Ukrainian president.<\/p>\n
His comments came as Ukrainian regional officials said<\/a> at least eight people were killed in Russian attacks on Wednesday, including along the Ukraine-Moldova border and in the southeast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jonas \u200bGahr Store says incident happened when jet \u2060\u2060carrying Ukrainian president took off from Moldova.
