In this regard, Kyiv hopes to strengthen the air defense. "At the head of the list is a new air defense system because of fears that Vladimir Putin will strengthen rocket strokes on civilian objects when his front line falls," in particular, the article. Currently, according to the newspaper, Ukraine's working visit is on a working visit to NATO Anders Fog Rasmussen. He, together with the head of the Presidential Office Andriy Ermak, develops the Kiev Security Agreement.
This Agreement encourages the West to take on long -term security guarantees with Ukraine, including constant financial support for military efforts and restoration of the Ukrainian defense industry, so that the state can start producing and supplying its own weapons in the coming years. Later this week, Rasmussen will meet with US officials and be able to transfer Ukraine's wishes for weapons.
The new US military aid package worth $ 625 million, announced on Tuesday, has not included any new air defense products. Baiden administration focused on accurate artillery and rocket systems and ammunition. These weapons will be critical over the next few weeks as the Armed Forces continue to counter -offensive. By November, Ukraine will also receive two advanced Raytheon anti-aircraft missile systems. They can knock down drones, rockets and helicopters, which is just what Kiev needs today.
However, these and six more anti-aircraft missile systems that should come in the future will not deliver to Ukraine fairly quickly. Therefore, Kyiv will not be able to cover Ukrainian cities in the air in a short time. According to journalists, Western partners do not intend to give up their advanced anti -missile defense and transfer them to Kiev. In addition, the production and training of the military, how to exploit them, are spent years.
