Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has called for increased air defense capabilities following a deadly strike on a Kharkiv store. Zelenskiy emphasized the urgent need for at least seven Patriot systems to counter the Russian bombardment, which involves more than 3,000 aerial bombs per month. He highlighted the insufficiency of current air defense missiles to stop the thousands of guided aerial bombs being used by Russia. The call for more air defenses, reported by Reuters, comes amid ongoing Russian attacks, with Zelenskiy stressing the critical need to bolster Ukraine's defensive measures. Russia is reportedly using 3,200 bombs monthly.
