russia's massive missile attacks on Kharkiv underscore Ukraine's urgent need for seven Patriot air defense systems to intercept russian missiles and prevent further casualties and destruction.
russia's recent massive attacks on Kharkiv are yet another proof that Ukraine needs to strengthen its air defense, including more Patriot systems. This was stated by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on his page on the social network X, UNN reports .
Details
russia launched multiple missile strikes on Kharkiv and Lyubotyn, causing casualties and destruction. This horrific attack should remind everyone in the world that Ukraine still urgently needs seven Patriot systems
He also thanked Germany once again for the transfer of another air defense system and emphasized that this is still not enough.
Ukraine's Foreign Minister reminded that every day of delay and debate not only costs lives, but also brings the possibility of a bigger war in Europe closer
Without naming and shaming, I once again call on the countries that have Patriot systems to speed up their decision-making and provide these systems to Ukraine. I believe that seven Patriot systems are a small price to pay for lasting peace in Europe. But we need them now, not tomorrow. Unfortunately, words of solidarity alone do not intercept russian missiles
