KYIV (Reuters) - Ukraine is seeing "significant results" thanks to U.S. Patriot and German IRIS-T defence systems, despite dozens of attacks by Russia over the past week, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address on Sunday.

Zelenskiy said he had received a report on the use of advanced air defence systems received from partners, noting the Raytheon-built Patriot and Germany's IRIS-T systems.
