President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that he would like to see American THAAD missile defense systems deployed in Ukraine.
He made this remark during a conversation with journalists.
According to the president, such systems, which are already in use by countries in the Middle East, could significantly reduce the threat posed by Russian aerial bombs.
Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine is counting on receiving modern anti-ballistic systems, which are currently unavailable in either Ukraine or Europe.
He added that the presence of THAAD would eliminate the threat of airstrikes at a distance of at least 200 km.
Ukraine plans to present its own vision for acquiring such systems to its partners.
