No matter how difficult it is for Ukrainians, especially for our defenders on the frontline, everyone understands that there is no alternative but to defend our land. This was stated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with Reuters.
The Head of State is grateful to all countries that provide weapons and support Ukrainian defense production. But at the same time, Ukraine needs promptness in both making decisions and implementing them.
"It is very important that diplomacy is backed up by strength on the battlefield. Due to the morale of our guys, modern equipment, and, what is extremely important, timely assistance from our partners. Not with words, but with actions. Not with rhetoric, but with specific equipment. Not someday, but now. Or better yet, as they say, yesterday," the President noted.
In particular, our country needs long-range missiles: Storm Shadow, SCALP, ATACMS. Volodymyr Zelenskyy is convinced that if the Ukrainian military could use them in the proper amount, the Russian occupiers would not be able to cross the border in large numbers. According to the Head of State, Ukraine needs at least 120 aircraft to counter Russia in the sky.
