Russia's large overnight strike on Ukrainian energy facilities showed that agreements on air defence made with U.S. President Donald Trump in Davos this week must be "fully implemented," President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Saturday.


Zelenskiy and Trump met at the World Economic Forum on Thursday and discussed air defence support for Ukraine, although afterwards neither leader specified what was agreed.
