Zelensky: Ukraine must build own missile defense

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has declared that Ukraine must build its own independent anti-ballistic missile defense capabilities. He stated that reliance on the United States is not viable, citing that the U.S. produces only 60-65 Patriot PAC-3 missiles per month and used two years' supply in a single day during a recent Middle East conflict. Zelensky emphasized that European security cannot depend on the U.S., pushing for Ukraine to develop its own systems to ensure its sovereignty and defense.
