Selenskyj demands rescue: strong air defense for peace!

Poltawa, Ukraine - Ukraine faces a crucial phase in the struggle for stability and peace, with air defense playing a central role. In a recent video approach, President Wolodymyr Selenskyj once again underlined the urgency to obtain stronger aircraft systems in order to effectively protect the population from Russian air strikes. He emphasizes that real peace guarantees can not only be based on "words or papers". Effective protective measures, according to Selenskyj, are essential, especially in the context of the latest Russian rocket attacks that led to numerous fatalities, including 20 people last weekend in various Ukrainian cities such as Poltawa, Sumy and Charkiw. In his speech, Selenskyj appeals to international partners to send Ukraine decisive armaments support. A large number of systems are required, including the Patriot systems and German Iris-T, as well as the development of their own drones and investments in arms production in the country. These demands acquire additional importance in the light of a support package from Sweden and other security preliminary benefits from Finland and Croatia that the Ukraine received.

Current developments in air defense

The latest developments are the delivery of the first of two Skynex flight defense systems to the Ukrainian armed forces. President Selenskyj thanked X (formerly Twitter) for timely delivery. This system, which is particularly suitable for the next area protection, is part of a comprehensive contract with an order value of 182 million euros, which previously also includes unnamed amounts of Iris-T SLM air bodies and two TRML-4D airspace monitoring radars. The modular SkyNex system can be further expanded into a comprehensive protective shield against air strikes through integrations of other components.

The British also strengthens their commitment by providing the Ukraine a new Gravehawk system to strengthen air defense. Prime Minister Keir Strandmer has also spoken out for a closed attitude of the EU to Russia and emphasized that the pressure on Putin must be increased. These collective efforts are part of a broad geopolitical strategy to support Ukraine in the fight against aggression.

Heavy fights and their humanitarian consequences

The situation on the front remains tense. In eastern Ukraine, the fights are still intense, with a total of 52 registered fighting. The situation in the Pokrowsk region is particularly difficult, where Ukrainian and Russian armed forces continue to meet. The ongoing attacks leave a high number of civil victims, as the last few weeks show with over 20 deaths. In a tragic incident in the Russian city of Sudscha, four people died in an emergency accommodation from a Russian sliding bomb; However, the information on this is not independent.

summarized that Ukraine is not only in a military conflict, but also strives for the necessary support at an international level. The focus on air defense reflects the pressing security concerns that have shaped the frost of the conflict with Russia, while the hope of stable peace is at stake.
