“We’ve run out of all the missiles that were defending Tripoli,” the president declared.
According to Zelenskyy, the problem arose because of the delay in Western aid. He commented on the defense by Israel’s allies, who helped repel an attack from Iran. According to him, Jerusalem could not have defended itself against a strike alone.
“A lot of things were involved that Ukraine lacks … This is a demonstration of what allies are not on paper, but in the sky,” Zelenskyy said.
He stressed that even though the allies provide Ukraine with certain weapons, they are not enough for effective defense.
“I’ll give you one example, a very simple one: at the Trypilska station, the light in the Kiev region depends on it. Eleven missiles were flying. The first seven we destroyed, four destroyed Tripillya. Why? Because there were zero missiles. We ran out of all the missiles that were protecting Tripillya,” says the President.
