Zelensky Says He Will Send a Signal to Biden For ‘More Patriots’ After Patriot Missile Systems are Installed ‘We Are in War’

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Joe Biden held a joint press conference today at the White House in Washington D.C.

In a clip shared by Breaking911, Zelensky told reporters that he will send a signal to Biden for “more Patriots” after Patriot missile systems are installed because “We are in war.”

Zelensky explained, “I can send messages to President Biden, for example, if it’s not serious, you said, ‘What’s going to happen after Patriot [missile systems] are installed?'”

“After that, we will send another signal to President Biden that we would like to get more Patriots. We are in war. I’m sorry — I’m really sorry,”

Biden chuckled at the suggestion from Zelensky, as the mood of the press conference appeared light for most of it, despite the serious nature of the situation.

Zelensky was responding to a question about what message his being in the White House with Biden sent to Putin.

In his statement at the beginning of the press conference, Biden declared, “The American people are prepared to have us stand up to bullies, stand up for freedom.”

“That’s who we are as Americans,” Biden insisted.

Zelensky appeared contrite during the press conference at times, however, as he offered thanks for the support that has been given.

As we previously reported, Zelensky had said in a video, “We are grateful for their support, but it is not enough. It is a hint — it is not enough.”
