Ukraine is working to strengthen its anti-ballistic defense, including counting on increased production of missiles for Patriot systems in the United States and in Germany.<\/p>\n
An Ukrinform correspondent reports that President Volodymyr Zelensky said this during a joint press conference with the U.S. President\u2019s special envoys.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur weak point is our anti-ballistic capabilities. We will strengthen them. I had meetings in both Norway and Canada. We need to address several things. Our Ukrainian anti-ballistic system… We will have relevant meetings in the near future. I think we will move as quickly as possible toward this result. In addition, the American side will increase next year the production volumes of anti-ballistic missiles for Patriot systems. God willing, the war will end, but we will still need them. We are counting on such systems to protect our country, so we will increase the volume next year \u2013 I am absolutely certain of that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In addition, according to Zelensky, the German side has increased production of anti-ballistic missiles. The President noted that agreements on assistance from German partners are also already in place.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite everything, what has been happening in the skies in recent days is simply horrific. Putin is doing this ahead of his elections. I am absolutely certain of this because he is increasing the strikes. You can see it \u2013 he is terrorizing our children, with strikes from morning till night,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Ukrainian President added that the Russians are using a new tactic. He noted that Ukraine is responding to these attacks and will continue to do so until Russia\u2019s terror and the war come to an end.<\/p>\n
