Ukraine needs a full-fledged sky shield to defeat Russian missile terror - Zelenskyy
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a statement on his Telegram, saying that Ukraine needs a full-fledged sky shield – this is the only way to defeat Russian missile terror.
"We have already shown that we can shoot down even the Russian missiles that the terrorists boasted about. Thanks to the help of our partners and the air defense systems provided to Ukraine, our defenders of the sky have saved thousands of lives," he said.
Zelenskyy added that protecting the entire territory of Ukraine - cities and communities - requires more air defense systems.
"The world must not get used to Russian terror – terror must be defeated. And it is possible!" the President emphasized.
