Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stressed this in an interview with the BBC during a visit to the United Kingdom, Ukrinform reports.

“They use 3,500 air bombs against civilians every month. We will never have the same number of missiles. It would be very expensive. And no one in the world is able to produce such a number of missiles for air defense every month,” he said.

According to Zelensky, Ukraine needs capabilities to be able to attack the enemy wherever its fighter jets are stationed – at military airfields. “Russia should be afraid to attack us with these planes,” the president said.

Zelensky reiterated that he is waiting for a positive decision on allowing Ukraine to use longer-range weapons supplied by partners against targets deep inside Russia.

“We need a lot of support from the Prime Minister (of the United Kingdom – ed.). We need this decision on the use of long-range weapons. We really need it… I am not putting pressure on the new Prime Minister. He has only been in office for 14 days, I understand that it is not easy. He still has to answer all the questions. That is why I have only one request, exactly this,” Zelensky said.

The President added that he is counting on British leaders in this regard, as such a positive decision would also encourage other countries.

As reported, Ukraine expects to strengthen its air defenses in July.
