"Today, not tomorrow": Kuleba has arguments why Kiev needs more air defense "right now"

According to the Foreign Minister, the Russians continue the massed shelling of peaceful cities of Ukraine, so the supply of shells should be regular. If the sky is protected, then the occupiers' missiles will stop flying into NATO countries. Ukraine needs more Western air defense systems right now. This will help protect the civilian population. This was stated by Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleb in an interview with Poitico.

Already on January 10, a meeting of the Natto-Ukraine Council will be held, at which to approve urgent obligations to help Kiev close the sky over the regions. If this happens, then the devastating Russian air attacks will be discarded. "First of all, we expect that the meeting will accelerate the making of critical decisions to further strengthen the opportunities of Ukraine's air defense. Both in terms of modern systems and ammunition to them," Dmytro Kuleba said.

The Ukrainian diplomat thanked the partners separately, who have continued for almost two years to assist Ukraine and increase its combat capabilities. At the meeting of the Natto-Ukraine Council, the issues of massive missile attacks from the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which took place in the last few weeks and killed dozens of people, will raise.

The firing of the enemy was aimed at depleting the defense resources of Ukraine, so Dmytro Kuleba urged the Allies to send ammunition to Air Defense regularly. It is about Patriot, Iris-T, NASAMS and other systems that are in service with the Armed Forces. This is a primary task that "should be done today, not tomorrow. " "Besides, the air defense of Ukraine will work more successfully, the less likely that the Russian rocket or drone will accidentally fly into NATO airspace.

On all grounds, our allies make sense to mobilize all available forces to strengthen Ukraine's air defense just now," he summed up Dmytro Kuleba, referring to a case with a Russian Armed Forces rocket in Poland. We will remind, on January 9 the Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba told why the event is more profitable to help Ukraine now.
