"The wait has been prolonged": Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting on additional ways to supply air defense systems
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that he held a meeting regarding additional ways to supply air defense systems to Ukraine – systems and missiles for them.
The head of state emphasized that there is an agreement at the highest political level on the purchase of "Patriots," and this agreement awaits implementation at the financial, legal, and technical levels.
"The wait has been prolonged.
Representatives of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Security and Defense Council, and the diplomatic team of the Office were present at today's meeting. The task is absolutely clear – to speed up the contract process for the "Patriots," and this is the personal responsibility of the involved officials. Funds from the European support package for Ukraine amounting to 90 billion euros and other financial resources must be used as efficiently as possible to fulfill the tasks that ensure the protection of Ukrainians' lives," he said.
According to the head of state, unfortunately, as of today, even the legal steps have not yet been worked out for this contract.
"I set a final deadline – one week for all preparatory steps. I expect a report on Friday: either clarity regarding the implementation of our agreement on the "Patriots," or serious personnel conclusions. Glory to Ukraine!" he added.
