Ukraine has only a quarter of the resources that would be needed to defend the country’s airspace. This is what President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says in an interview with the AFP news agency.

– Today we have 25 percent of what we need to defend Ukraine. Then I’m talking about air defense, says Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

He also said that Ukraine needs more than a hundred aircraft to match Russian air combat capabilities.
