Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has urged foreign partners to improve the Ukrainian air defence with weapons capable of intercepting Russian mediumrange ballistic missiles.
Source Sybiha on Twitter X, as reported by European Pravda Details The minister emphasised that Russias use of a mediumrange ballistic missile is typical blackmail, as Putin is attempting to scare everyone away from helping Ukraine.
Quote Ukraines partners should do the exact opposite reject blackmail, increase support, and strengthen Ukraines air shield with systems capable of intercepting such missiles, he stressed.
Background On 22 November, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Kyiv had requested assistance from allies in strengthening air defence to protect against ballistic missiles such as the one fired at the city of Dnipro the previous day.
The General Staff of Ukraines Armed Forces previously informed reporters that Ukraine is working with its US partners to obtain a THAAD antiballistic missile defence system or upgrade the Patriot in the wake of Russias attack with a new experimental missile type.
