Partners have Patriot missile stocks they could provide to Ukraine. In addition to the United States, Germany and Poland could help Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said during a joint press conference with Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić.

"Who has them (missiles – ed.)? The Germans have them, the Poles have them. These are countries that can provide serious assistance. With all due respect and gratitude to Germany, it has indeed helped. And Poland has helped. But we are talking about who can provide them. I'm telling you frankly," President Zelenskyy said.

According to the head of the Ukrainian state, the Netherlands and the Nordic countries are also helping Ukraine with missiles. However, he did not specify the number.

At the same time, Zelenskyy said that South Korea and Japan could also help with air defense, but they are unable to do so because of their domestic legislation.

Just finished the main story, and I have a few thoughts regarding the MC's romantic relationships:

• The one Rudeus has the deepest feelings for, and who has the most well-developed character arc, is Eris. The author essentially had to make Eris leave Rudeus to create room for the other female characters to develop.
• The second most developed character is Sylphy. Even though she hasn't reached the point of sacrificing absolutely everything for Rudeus, and actually abandoned him in the Old Rudeus timeline, she is overall the most fitting for the "first wife" role, which allows Rudeus to build his harem.
• The third is Sara - and yes, obviously, not Roxy. Roxy has very limited screen time, only taking up a short portion of Vol 1 of the Light Novel until she reunites with Rudeus in the Teleportation Labyrinth. To Rudeus, Roxy feels more like an obsession, a lingering attachment, and an idealized figure rather than a woman he has a genuine romantic relationship with. The timing of their reunion at the labyrinth feels quite forced from both sides. Hitogami even revealed that in another timeline, Roxy just falls in love with whoever saves her in the labyrinth, only to be abandoned later.
• Meanwhile, Sara and Rudeus's relationship developed very naturally. They were there for each other during the darkest point of his life, and they literally saved each other's lives. However, because choosing Sara could negate the routes for both Sylphy and Eris, the author was basically forced to write her out of the story.
