Zelensky Cites Insufficient Interceptor Missiles Against Russian Ballistics
Ukrainian President Zelensky reported that while forces successfully intercepted drones and cruise missiles, they could not stop Russian ballistic missiles due to a shortage of interceptor missiles, urging allies to take strong decisions at the NATO summit.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukrainian forces achieved good results in shooting down drones and cruise missiles but failed to counter Russian ballistic missiles due to insufficient supplies of interceptor missiles.
Zelensky called on the United States and European partners to make strong decisions at the NATO summit in Ankara to support Ukraine's air defense. He argued that Patriot missiles remaining in allied warehouses only encourage Russia to continue striking residential buildings.
The remarks highlight ongoing challenges in Ukraine's air defense capabilities as the war continues.
