"It will save lives": Zelenskyy told what Ukraine needs to stop Russian terror

Today, Ukraine needs to strengthen its army with more air defence systems and aircraft with air-to-air missiles. The latter should be capable of hitting enemy targets at distances of more than 100 km.

This will help stop Russian terror. This opinion was expressed by the head of the Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak, on his Telegram channel.

"This is what we need to stop the terror of Ukrainian cities from the air by Russian guided bombs," he said.

The head of the Presidential Office says that the destruction of Russian combat aircraft on the far frontiers will save the lives of Ukrainian civilians and the country's infrastructure.

Earlier, the spokesperson for the Ukrainian Air Force, Yuriy Ihnat, said that the aggressor country Russia could provoke a man-made disaster by attacking Ukrainian nuclear power facilities. According to him, our army needs F-16 fighter jets to repel such actions of the occupiers.

At the same time, on April 17, Slovakia announced that it had already completed the transfer of fourth-generation MiG-29 multi-role fighters to Ukraine. Thus, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will receive 13 such aircraft from Bratislava.

As OBOZREVATEL previously reported, Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov named Ukraine's priorities ahead of the 11th meeting in the Ramstein format, which will take place on April 21. These include defence of the sky, creation of an armoured "shield" for the Ukrainian army and provision of ammunition.
