Zelenskyy: If we had more air defence systems and aircraft, Russia's Air Force would have already collapsed – video

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that if Ukraine had more modern air defence systems and aircraft, Russia's Air Force would have suffered the same collapse as its Black Sea Fleet.

Quote: "The soldiers of our 110th Separate Mechanised Brigade have achieved a result in Donetsk Oblast today, which is necessary in all areas where Russian strikes threaten our positions, cities and hromadas – they have shot down another Su-25 today. [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories.]

Of course, if we had more adequate, modern air defence systems and aircraft, Russia's Air Force would have already collapsed like its Black Sea Fleet, and Russian terror would have become simply impossible.

Shooting down Russian combat aircraft, Russian missiles, and their drones is a real peacekeeping measure."

Details: In addition, Zelenskyy noted that he had heard the first reports on the Russian strike on a home improvement hypermarket in Kharkiv. The president added that many employees and visitors were inside, and a fire broke out throughout the building.

Quote: "This attack on Kharkiv is another manifestation of Russian madness. There is no other way to describe it. Only lunatics like Putin are capable of killing and terrorising people in such a vile manner."
