Zelenskyi explained how many infrastructure facilities need to be protected
This is reported by ThePublic.info citing Ukrinform.
"Without unnecessary details — so as not to prepare the enemy — today I am looking at the 203 key infrastructure objects of Ukraine that we need to defend with air defense. That is, I don't want to say exactly what we have done and how many systems we have, but you understand that — 203. There are many more objects, but I am talking about the key ones — those related to energy, gas systems, water supply, etc.," said Zelensky.
The President emphasized that protecting such infrastructure is a serious challenge, while expressing confidence that Ukraine is doing everything correctly, noting that "we want to do this not alone, so that partners support more with actions, less with words."
The head of state noted that Ukraine is currently working on acquiring the Patriot system. He reminded that two systems are expected to arrive in the fall.
"We will receive these two systems with the appropriate set of missiles. Of course, this is not the same as the dozen air defense systems we are expecting from the USA. That is — these are different systems, which we managed to agree upon. We are awaiting the package that the President of the United States promised. I expect that we can receive the relevant delivery timelines for these systems. Next week, our delegation will go to the USA led by the Prime Minister. We will see what feedback we get," he clarified.
The head of state noted that the leader of the Kremlin will not agree to cease hostilities, so it must be stopped by force, including using long-range weapons against Russia, such as Tomahawk cruise missiles. The President expressed hope for a positive response from the US President on this matter.
