Ukraine has plan to strengthen air defense and is working on it together with partners, - Zelenskyy
Ukraine has a "powerful and detailed" plan to strengthen air defense and is working on its implementation together with partners from Europe, America and Asia.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this at a joint briefing with Prime Minister of the Kingdom of the Netherlands Mark Rutte in Odesa, Censor.NET reports with reference to Ukrinform.
"Everything (protection of grain corridors and energy facilities – ed.) depends on the number of appropriate anti-aircraft systems. We are working to increase this number. We have a powerful plan for what we need. It is really developed in detail, our partners have it: all European partners, partners from the United States of America, from Asia, etc.," Zelenskyy emphasized.
According to him, strengthening air defense is a difficult task, but there is progress on this issue, Ukraine receives new systems every month. "I can't tell you where they'll be, and I can't tell you the number. Not because I don't know, but because I just don't have the right to do it," he said.
He said that there are various options for strengthening air defense."There we have such a multisystem when we turn to someone to provide us even... for the winter period some systems as they have few, so we talk about such combined things. And there are systems that will come to us and stay with us."
Earlier, Zelenskyy said that the Netherlands would help guarantee security for cargo ships that will sail through alternative security corridors in the Black Sea. Rutte also said that the Netherlands will provide Ukraine with missiles for the Patriot air defense system and help purchase patrol boats to help restore the safety of navigation.
