Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister, has expressed hope that the allies will promptly announce new commitments to strengthen Ukraine’s air defence after the NATO-Ukraine Council meeting on Wednesday, 10 January.

Details: The foreign minister explained that Kyiv expects the meeting to “expedite critical decisions on further strengthening Ukraine’s air defence capabilities. Both in terms of modern systems and their ammunition”.

“Ensuring regular supplies of missiles for Patriots, IRIS-T, NASAMS, and other systems is a top priority that must be completed today, not tomorrow,” the official stressed.

Kuleba also pointed out that the effectiveness of Ukraine’s air defence reduces the likelihood that “a Russian missile or drone will accidentally fly into bordering NATO airspace”.

“On all accounts, it makes sense for our allies to mobilise all available forces to strengthen Ukraine’s air defences right now,” the minister added.
