Zelenskiy said that Ukraine lacks air defense systems to protect civilians from russian attacks and needs long-range weapons to stop attacks on cities like Kharkiv.

Ukraine lacks air defense systems for civilians. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a press conference, an UNN correspondent reports.

What is missing is that everything is on time. Air defense is for Ukraine, for civilians. It is important for the frontline, but it is very difficult to protect children, schools, universities, hospitals without air defense. That is why it is important for everyone to concentrate their efforts. For example, to prevent shelling of Kharkiv. Long-range weapons are needed there, because the russians are at a distance where they can hit our people, and we cannot adequately respond to them

- Zelensky said.
