Zelensky said there could be a potential crisis with air defense ammunition

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned of a potential crisis involving air defense ammunition.

He said this in an interview with the Dutch outlet Buitenhof.

The head of state believes that intensive Russian attacks are depleting Ukraine’s stockpiles.

“Air defense stocks could run out in any given week because of the intensity of the attacks,” Zelensky said.

At the same time, according to him, Ukraine continues to produce and work on air defense.

“We have everything needed to destroy Shaheds, but we do not have enough Patriot systems or similar ones. We will be able to do this. We will produce them. We need more time. We will do it ourselves or together with some Europeans,” the president said.

However, it is noted that even the amount already secured is still not enough.

“We do not have a large reserve; the missiles are always on the way. For example, we reached a decision with some European solutions — I will not speak about the quantity — and I am glad that we made that decision, but we need more,” the president added.

Not long ago, Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said that Russian forces are preparing to carry out massive strikes against Ukraine roughly every four to five days in the near future.
