“Such a large number of UAVs, bombs and missiles, especially ballistic, emphasizes the urgent need for further strengthening of Ukrainian air defense. We need more interceptors and more systems. And we are also ready to buy or borrow them,” Sibiga said.
He also called for greater investments in the Ukrainian defense industry, including drones and air defense drops.
“Ukraine is actively working on developing our own capabilities. But we need support now, given the scale of Russian terror,” the minister stressed.
