At a meeting with NATO allies today, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba is going to call for more Patriot air defense systems to intercept ballistic missiles, as the enemy launched 94 such missiles at Ukraine in March alone. The minister said this during a press statement with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on Thursday, UNN reports.
My main message today will be Patriots. Because the preservation of Ukrainian lives, the preservation of the Ukrainian economy, the preservation of Ukrainian cities depends on the availability of Patriots and other air defense systems in Ukraine. We are talking about Patriots because it is the only system that can intercept ballistic missiles. And in March alone, 94 ballistic missiles hit Ukraine. The provision of Patriots depends on the allies. They have a lot of them. So that will be my main focus today. I look forward to the discussion we will have with our allies
