Until this morning, Ukraine had several air defense systems without missiles. However, today the necessary ammunition has been received, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says during a press conference following a meeting with his Czech counterpart Petr Pavel.
He notes that Ukraine has a lot of different systems that were brought in during the full-scale war and that constantly need missile packages. He adds that the issue is not only about Patriot systems, whichwill never be enough.
"Today, thank God, we received a serious package in the morning. It is now in Ukraine, and I can talk about it. But it comes at the cost of effort, blood, and people's lives," Zelenskyy says.
According to Zelenskyy, Ukraine has recently faced a shortage of various types of missiles.
"For example, until this morning, we had several systems (air defense, ed.) without missiles. Today, I can speak openly about this because today I have these missiles," the President of Ukraine says.
The President stresses that each package of missiles is being knocked out of European and American countries and adds that America cannot be blamed for this alone because it is about all other systems that protect the Ukrainian energy sector.
