French President Emmanuel Macron stated that it is impossible to build the same missile defense system for Ukraine as in Israel because this process requires significant resources and a long time, according to the Elysee Palace.
According to him, the Israeli missile defense system was developed over decades. Israel invested a lot of effort and money into it.
"It is impossible to build the same system that would meet all of Ukraine's needs," Macron added at a press conference following the EU summit in Brussels.
Macron noted that it is impossible because Europe's resources are limited.
