Give the man what he needs

Ukraine has retaken roughly 6,000 square km (2,400 square miles) of territory this month during its counteroffensive, Volodymyr Zelenskiy has claimed, as he urged foreign allies to swiftly supply more air defence systems.

Praising existing anti-aircraft defences that he said saw nine out of 12 of Monday’s Russian missiles shot down, Zelenskiy said in a plea to foreign nations: “above all, speed up the provision of air defence systems”.

“Clearly we’ve seen significant progress by the Ukrainians, particularly in the north-east, and that is a product of the support we’ve provided, but first and foremost it’s a product of the extraordinary courage and resilience of the Ukrainian armed forces and the Ukrainian people,” [US Secretary of State Antony] Blinken told reporters in Mexico City.

Yes, yes, of course, take credit. Just give him what he asks for, like you should have done at the onset of the Russian invasion.
