Kyiv • UNN
Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba called on the EU to provide Ukraine with additional Patriot and other ballistic missile defense systems to protect it from Russia's daily missile attacks.
Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba had a telephone conversation with EU diplomat Josep Borrell and called for the speedy delivery of additional Patriot systems and other air defense systems capable of shooting down ballistic missiles to Ukraine, UNN reports.
The Minister informed his European counterpart about Russian ballistic missile attacks on the capital and other Ukrainian cities.
"Ukraine is currently the only country in the world that is attacked by ballistic missiles almost every day. That is why Patriot should be here in Ukraine to save lives, not to stay in places where the missile threat is zero," Kuleba emphasized.
The diplomats discussed steps the EU can take to help Ukraine receive more Patriot and other air defense systems as soon as possible.
The Ukrainian Foreign Minister expressed gratitude to EU High Representative Josep Borrell and the European Union for their support.
