Ukraine will obtain a brand new Samp/T air protection system from France this 12 months and can check it in opposition to Russian ballistic missiles as an alternative choice to the American Patriot system. This was introduced by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. “We will receive a system this year that we will test against ballistic threats,” Zelensky informed a gaggle of journalists in embargoed statements thus far.

The Ukrainian president added that this was “the most important topic” of his talks with Emmanuel Macron in Paris on Friday.

Ukraine doesn’t need to lose US assist in its battle in opposition to Russia as a result of disaster within the Middle East, Zelensky mentioned. “We don’t want to lose the Americans” when “they are, without a doubt, currently more focused on the Middle East,” Zelensky mentioned yesterday. “We are demonstrating our willingness to help the United States and its allies in the Middle East” by providing them Ukrainian experience on drones and “we sincerely hope that, because of the Middle East, the United States will not turn away from the issue of war in Ukraine,” he continued.
