In winter, Ukraine needs 100-120 Patriot missiles every month to defend against Russian ballistic missiles.
He told DW in an exclusive interview.
He noted that Russia produces about 140 ballistic missiles per month, and to destroy them, according to NATO standards, the ratio of 1 to 2 is required, i.e., 280 interceptor missiles. Zelensky acknowledged that such a quantity is unattainable, and even receiving 100 missiles per month would be a “huge challenge” for Kyiv.
“I want to have one hundred to one hundred twenty Patriot missiles for these difficult months, especially the cold months,” Zelensky said.
He noted that Ukraine could obtain missiles from US stocks or production, and is also discussing possible deliveries from Middle Eastern countries, the details of which were not disclosed.
