Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said that Europe should build its own anti-ballistic missile defense system, adding that Ukraine is already in talks with several countries on the project. He said defending against ballistic missiles remains a major challenge in the war with Russia, as only certain types of missiles used by the American Patriot system are capable of intercepting Russian ballistic missiles. President Zelenskiy called the plan difficult but realistic, aiming to develop the system within a year. He said discussions with key European partners are underway, but gave no details.
