Zelensky “no longer expects” aviation supplies from the West, but counts on air defense systems

“Maybe I am very persistent, but still, the safety of the sky is a priority.

And no one expects this or that aircraft, ”RIA Novosti quotes him as saying at a briefing with Irish Prime Minister Michol Martin.

Zelensky noted that the Ukrainian authorities have “theoretical confirmation” and are counting on the supply of “powerful air defense systems” to Kyiv from the West.

In June, Russia's permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, declared the responsibility of Western countries supplying weapons to Kyiv for the deaths of civilians in the Donbass.
