Ukraine is negotiating the transfer of a number of interceptor missiles that are nearing the end of their service life, rather than having them disposed of.
This was stated by Foreign Ministry spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi during a briefing, according to Ukrinform.
“The Ukrainian side has managed to identify a number of interceptor missiles that will reach the end of their service life in the near future, which Ukraine could also acquire. We are currently engaged in active negotiations to obtain them, because what is the point of returning missiles to the manufacturer or disposing of them once they have reached the end of their service life?” the diplomat said.
He added that, in return, Ukraine is proposing to receive these interceptors, and Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha is giving this issue priority attention.
