Until this morning, Ukraine had several air defense systems without missiles. However, Ukraine received the necessary missiles today.

According to a Ukrinform correspondent, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced this during a press conference following a meeting with Czech President Petr Pavel.

"Sometimes I want to speak frankly, but the situation does not allow me to do so. For example, until this morning, we had several systems [air defense] without missiles. Today, I can speak frankly about this because today I have these missiles," he said.

Zelensky noted that Ukraine receives each missile package after significant efforts to communicate with European countries and the US.

"The issue is not only about Patriot systems, which will never be enough. Ukraine has many different systems that were brought in during the war. This requires constant packages of missiles. Thank God, we received a serious package this morning. Now that it is in Ukraine, I can talk about it. But this comes at the cost of effort, blood, people's lives, and so on," he said.
