This heinous attack must remind everyone around the world that Ukraine still urgently needs seven “Patriot” systems. We are very grateful to Germany for announcing one additional… pic.twitter.com/wtJES3l370
The minister emphasized that the terrible attack by Russia should mark the need for seven Patriot systems for Ukraine, one of which has already been promised by Germany.
According to him, obtaining six more systems is critical both for the country's survival and for ensuring peace in Europe.
Kuleba emphasized that every delay in decision-making and discussion costs lives and brings the possibility of a large-scale war in Europe closer.
He called on the countries that own Patriot systems to speed up the process of providing them to Ukraine, emphasizing that this is a step towards long-term peace in the region.
Earlier, we reported that according to Kharkiv RMA, Russian troops struck Kharkiv 15 times.
