President Volodymyr Zelensky has denied reports that Patriot air defense systems were damaged or destroyed during recent large-scale Russian missile attacks.
“None of the Patriot systems were destroyed or damaged as a result of these massive strikes,” Zelensky told journalists.
The President dismissed the circulating claims, stating that what was “thrown somewhere in the media” was untrue.
As earlier reported, on June 6, Ukraine’s Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security reported that Russian propaganda attempted to justify a large-scale missile attack by alleging that an Iskander missile had destroyed a Patriot air defense system near Kyiv. Although the claim was accompanied by video footage, there has been no independent confirmation that such an incident occurred in or near the capital.
