Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stressed that his country must have a powerful missile defense system to prevent Russian attacks.

"I had a phone call with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and we coordinated our positions on the eve of the upcoming NATO summit in Madrid," Zelensky wrote in a tweet,according to the Ukrainian (Ukrainform) news agency, on Tuesday.

The NATO summit is scheduled to start later today, and will last for three days.

In the same context, the Ukrainian President condemned the shelling a shopping center in the central city of Kremenchuk by Russian forces, describing the strike that killed 16 people and wounded 59 as a "blatant terrorist act".

Zelensky considered the Russian strike on the shopping center as "one of the largest blatant terrorist acts in the history of Europe," adding that the bombing targeted a peaceful town and a shopping center.
