Ukraine Negotiating with Five Countries about Air Defence Systems - Zelensky

Ukraine is simultaneously negotiating with several partners to supply air and missile defense systems. President Volodymyr Zelensky stated this, answering the "European Pravda" questions after negotiations with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. The head of state emphasized that "closing the sky" from missile attacks would be a key factor in guaranteeing security in Ukraine. He expects the fulfillment of their obligations by the two partner states - the USA and Germany. "Air defense and anti-missile defense are a priority for us. We have started talks, and there is a positive result regarding the supply of (US-Norwegian system) NASAMS and (German) IRIS-T. We expect several systems from Germany but have not yet received any from the U.S. But still, this partially covers the shortage of air defense systems," he said.
