He emphasized that "many people do not want us in Ukraine to have our own ballistic capabilities".
"Of course, Russia is number one. But there are also not very many people and companies in the world that want such a competitor. ... There is also money; there is business. That is why we have to fight tooth and nail for everything and fight for everything," Zelenskyy concluded.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that, alongside searching for missiles for the Patriot system, Ukraine is developing its own Freyja antiballistic project, led by the Ukrainian defense company Fire Point. One of Ukraine's main tasks is to protect the production facilities of the antiballistic shield.
