Ukrainian air defense will be foundation for pan-European sky shield – Zelensky

President Volodymyr Zelensky says that the Ukrainian air defense will become the basis for a pan-European air shield.

“Each significant strengthening of our air defense saves thousands of lives and brings Ukraine closer to having a full-fledged sky shield. All of our cities and villages must be protected. This will be the foundation for a pan-European sky shield. When Russian terror loses in Ukraine, all of Europe wins,” Zelensky said in a post on his Facebook page.
