We have already shown that we can shoot down even the Russian missiles that the terrorists boasted about,\u201d the Ukrainian president posted on Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThanks to the help of our partners and the air defense systems provided to Ukraine, our defenders of the sky have saved thousands of lives. But we need more air defense systems for our entire territory, for all our cities and communities. The world must not get used to Russian terror \u2013 terror must be defeated. And it is possible!\u201d, Zelensky continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These comments came after another&nbsp; volley of attacks on the city of Odessa on the morning of July 23, 2023, in addition to strikes that appeared to have struck grain storage facilities throughout the past week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These attacks come at a time when Ukraine\u2019s counter offensive appears to be sputtering against a well-dug in Russian military that also enjoys air superiority.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zelensky is clearly on the US taxpayer\u2019s dole. What\u2019s taking place in Ukraine is of little strategic importance to the US. It\u2019s actually the product of the West\u2019s arrogant expansionist agenda through the expansion of NATO on Russia\u2019s doorstep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a sane political climate, the US would not be doling out military aid to countries such as Ukraine. Instead, it would be using those funds to properly bolster its security at the southern border \u2014 the real area that is of the utmost strategic importance for the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Original Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/bigleaguepolitics.com\/ukrainian-president-volodymyr-zelensky-calls-on-west-to-supply-ukraine-with-anti-aircraft-defense-systems\/\">https:\/\/bigleaguepolitics.com\/ukrainian-president-volodymyr-zelensky-calls-on-west-to-supply-ukraine-with-anti-aircraft-defense-systems\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky fervently&nbsp;called&nbsp;for a \u201cfull protective shield\u201d of air defense systems to be supplied&nbsp; to his government.
