(FRANCEINFO)
In recent days, the Russian army has intensified its bombing of Ukrainian cities. Faced with these hypersonic missiles, kyiv wants to better protect itself on land and in the sky.
Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second city, was targeted by several Russian strikes, leaving at least three dead and dozens injured on Wednesday March 27. In recent days, Russia has intensified its bombing of Ukrainian cities, such as kyiv and Kherson. The victims are always civilians. Faced with these hypersonic missiles, Ukraine wants to better protect itself on land and in the sky.
“The Russians’ goal is to wear us out.”
kyiv is once again requesting more anti-aircraft resources from its Western allies, in particular the American Patriot defense system. Today, Ukraine no longer has sufficient resources. “The Russians’ objective is to exhaust us. Above all, they want to destroy our infrastructure”confides a Ukrainian soldier. “So it is important for us to intercept them in our sector before the strikes reach kyiv and the thermal power plants. But the drones sent are really difficult to shoot down”he concludes.
