Macron commits to Zelensky missile support
The article concerns French President Emmanuel Macron's announcement of a new pledge to support Ukraine by supplying it with missile defense systems. This comes in response to Russian drone strikes targeting the city of Krivoy Rog. Macron did not specify the type or quantities of missiles to be provided, but predictions suggest Ukraine may receive modern defense systems such as the SAMP/T-NG, capable of intercepting ballistic missiles. However, delivery might be delayed until spring of next year. This support aims to bolster Ukraine’s air defense capabilities, which are suffering from a significant shortage of defense systems. Their stockpiles have decreased by a factor of 2.5 compared to 2025 levels, and the Ukrainian military is struggling to shoot down Russian missiles during attacks. Western countries continue to support Ukraine militarily amid ongoing tensions with Russia, but Zelensky's statements about purchasing Patriot systems have garnered widespread criticism and doubts about Ukraine’s ability to acquire advanced defense systems.
