Met with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Thank you for your continued support in protecting the Ukrainian skies. It is very difficult now because of the large number of Russian missiles and UAVs. In the first week of this month alone, Russia launched 115 missiles of various types, thousands of air-guided bombs and rocket-propelled grenades.
In addition to the constant shortage of anti-ballistics, which is used by Russia to destroy our energy, significant difficulties are added by interruptions in the work of Starshield along the front line and in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. This significantly limits the possibilities for intercepting reactive "echoes". Of course, only the Russians will benefit from this.
Now that the tripartite negotiations have intensified, it is important that Ukraine does not have empty air defense systems and has a way to defend itself. Artificial restrictions do not work for peace. They work for the aggressor. Thanks Mark for your willingness to help with PAC-2 and PAC-3.
