Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky hopes to develop a European anti-ballistic missile system in collaboration with the United Kingdom.
According to Ukrinform, the president made this statement in an interview with The Guardian, as reported on his Telegram channel.
According to Zelensky, “E3 countries will help us with anti-ballistic capabilities. By the way, I hope that we will manage to develop a European anti-ballistic system together with the UK. We are working on it. We need it, and the UK needs it.”
As the president recalled, “Yesterday at the E3 meeting, everybody agreed that we need to strengthen sanctions on Russia.”
In addition, Zelensky noted, it is necessary to transition the Ukrainian army to a contract-based system. “It's dangerous to be a soldier, and we need to give them respectable salaries because they are giving their lives. We need additional funding for this. Currently, it's nowhere near what Russia pays its mercenaries. I do hope that our friends will help,” the president emphasized.
