This is a challenge for Warsaw, Bucharest, and Budapest: Zelenskyy on the 'Oreshnik' strike on Lviv region

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the "Oreshnik" strike on the Lviv region is indicative, as it occurred near the borders of the European Union. According to him, this is the same challenge for Warsaw, Bucharest, Budapest, and many other capitals. Zelenskyy stated this in his evening address, as reported by UNN.

It was "Oreshnik" again – this time against the Lviv region. This was again demonstrably close to the borders of the European Union, and this – from the point of view of using medium-range ballistics – is the same challenge for Warsaw, and for Bucharest, and for Budapest, and for many other capitals. Everyone should understand equally, and equally seriously: if the Russians don't even try to come up with a plausible reason for using such weapons, then you won't be able to hide from it with personal connections or any rhetoric 

He added that there must be a system of joint actions, a system of joint protection, truly effective.

Do we have such a system now? The question remains unanswered, because everyone in Europe has the same doubt: will their capital be protected if something hits Putin's head
