Zelensky says Ukraine runs out of missiles This led to a Russian attack last week destroying the largest power plant in the Kyiv region.
Foreign news agencies reported that Volodymyr Velensky, President of Ukraine, revealed that last week Russia fired 11 missiles at the Trypilska power plant, the largest thermal power plant in the Kiev region. and succeeded in destroying it
Zelenskiy said their air defenses were able to intercept the first seven missiles, but the next four hit and completely destroyed the plant. “Why? Because we don’t have any missiles. We have run out of missiles,” the Ukrainian leader told PBS NewsHour in an interview broadcast on Monday, April 15, 2024.
Zelensky has been warning allies for weeks that Ukraine’s air defenses are running out. As Russia launches new attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure But military assistance Especially from the United States It has also been blocked by House Republicans.
The Ukrainian leader also cited the Israeli case as an example. that can prevent an Iranian attack which fired missiles and sent more than 300 drones to attack 99% of the time, saying that this incident has shown that Western nations can protect the airspace of their allies;
“Israel alone cannot defend itself once morest such a powerful and numerous attack. Which, of course, They use defense systems and aircraft. With many things, frankly, Ukraine is lacking,” Zelensky said. Ready to ask the question: Why does Israel receive this much support from NATO member states? Even though you are not a member
“Israel is not a NATO member state. But Nago and its member states have always protected Israel. They showed Iran that Israel is not alone. And this is the lesson. This is the response of anyone on any continent saying: You need to help Ukraine carefully. so that NATO member states will not be drawn into war.”
On Monday, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson signaled he would propose a new relief package. This includes revamped aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, which has passed through parliament following months of stalling. But many people still wonder. Will this bill be approved or not? Because Mr. Johnson is facing opposition from within his own Republican party.
Zelensky said: There is division over this aid bill. “Bizarre” and “purely political”
“Nobody cares how many Ukrainians die every day, they only care regarding their own votes. That’s the whole story. But they must have forgotten that. Dead people don’t care regarding ratings,” Zelensky said. Ready to emphasize once more that Ukraine will have no chance of winning if the United States No new military aid budget passed
