According to him, there are problems in regions that have a common border with the Russian Federation and Belarus, front-line regions such as Zaporozhye, Kherson, Dnepropetrovsk, Donetsk, Sumy, Chernigov, Cherkassy. The President says that there is a shortage of air defense even in Kyiv.
He stressed that Ukraine has already transmitted information to all partners about its air defense needs.
Today, at a meeting of the Grane from Ukraine initiative, the president also announced that Ukraine had agreed with its allies on “very powerful” air defense for the Odessa region.
A very specific number of systems with a very specific name. There is this request, I will tell you frankly that the answer is already positive. Soon this region will be protected by very powerful air defense. Not only ships are important to us, but also people living in the Odessa region,” Zelensky said.
The head of state made statements about air defense after the greatest attack of “martyrs” on Kyiv since the beginning of the great war. The capital was attacked by about 80 attack UAVs.
The drones that Russian troops used to attack Kyiv were of an unusual black color and also contained carbon that absorbs radar signals. This complicates the work of the air defense forces, said Yuriy Ignat, representative of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
