This weapon, Kiev has long been looking for him until Washingron approved the shipment at the end of August.
We need the United States to show leadership and give Ukraine air defence systems. I want to thank President Joe Biden for a positive decision, already making”, Zelensky said.
He added that the weapons sent to Ukraine are not abundant to protect Ukrainian civilian infrastructure, schools, hospitals, universities and homes.
The head of Ukraine also thanked Beden for the HIMARS missile systems, since Russian aggression (February 24th), the US has supplied Ukrainian troops until it has conducted exercises for their use.
The rocket system NASAMS is a short- and medium-range distribution system. NASAMS protects aircraft without pilots, helicopters, combat vehicles and aircraft. Construction of such a system began in 1990 by a Norwegian company.
Ukraine has noted visible progress in recent weeks through offensive to Russian troops. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has organised a new mobilization, suggesting he will recruit another 300 thousand people to war.
