"Replaced again and again": Zelensky told how Ukraine was handed to non -working air defense

According to the President, such weapons were received from one of the European countries, but did not name it. One of the European countries has sent a system of air defense (air defense) to Ukraine, but it was in a non -working condition. As a result, it had to be replaced "again and again. " This was stated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with the Associated Press. The head of state did not name the country discussed.

He also noted that most of the promised weapon was not received to Ukraine. According to him, the US decision to provide modern Patriot air defense systems is "excellent". However, they are not enough, and they are not yet expanded. Zelensky added that at least 20 units are required to cover the entire territory of Ukraine. "We have great decisions about" patriots ", but we do not really have them . . .

Ukraine requires 20 Patriot batteries to protect against Russian rockets, and even this may not be enough because no country in the world has been attacked as many ballistic missiles, "the President said. We will remind, on March 28 the head of the Pentagon Lloyd Austin stated that the Armed Forces were able to exhaust the Russian forces, and thanks to Western assistance will be able to go on a successful counter -offensive this spring.
