Ukraine plans its own anti-ballistic air defence: Zelenskyy named the timeline for creating the system

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated the need to create a domestic air defence system capable of shooting down ballistic targets.

He said this in an interview for the telemarathon.

"My idea is that we should have an anti-ballistic European system. We are talking with several states, we are working in this direction. We need to create our own anti-ballistic system within a year," he said.

According to Zelenskyy, Ukraine needs this in order not to depend on Patriot.

"This is realistic. It is very difficult, but the question is in the components. We haven’t talked with all (European countries. - Ed.) yet. With the key countries that I wanted to talk to about this in Europe, I have talked," added the head of state.
