President Zelenskyy warns of the threat of increased ballistic missile strikes on Ukraine
Published
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has made an official statement regarding the security situation in the country. According to the head of state, Russia may increase the number of attacks using ballistic missiles in the near future. This is linked to the enemy's attempts to take advantage of current difficulties within the Ukrainian air defense system.
The primary cause for concern is the shortage of interceptor missiles for Patriot surface-to-air missile systems. These systems are critically important for protecting Ukrainian cities from fast ballistic targets, which are difficult to shoot down with conventional weapons. The Kremlin is attempting to use this moment to inflict maximum damage on infrastructure and civilian objects.
Ukrainian authorities emphasize that the issue of supplying new ammunition for air defense remains a priority in negotiations with Western partners. Strengthening sky defense is a necessary condition for the safety of citizens and the stable operation of the energy system under wartime conditions.
Currently, military experts and government representatives are urging Ukrainians not to ignore air raid sirens. Ballistic missiles reach their targets in a matter of minutes, so it is important to always remain in shelters during times of danger. The situation remains tense, however, work on strengthening air defense continues every day.
