Ukraine’s Ambassador US to speed up air defense systems to Ukraine

Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States Oksana Markarova has called on the United Stated to do everything possible to speed up the delivery of weapons for Ukraine, especially air defense systems.

The relevant statement was made by Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States Oksana Markarova on CBS News, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"Unfortunately, these systems are difficult to produce, and they are not ready on the shelves waiting, but we are doing everything possible and asking our partners to do everything possible to speed up not only the delivery but also the ordering of these systems," Markarova said.

In her words, Ukraine needs to secure as many settlements as possible and as many civilians, namely children, as possible from Russian missiles.

According to Markarova, despite Putin's statements, Ukraine should be prepared for everything, especially as 'partial mobilization' in Russia turned to be a failure.
