As Zelenskyy noted, it would help Ukraine greatly if Poland shot down Russian missiles headed toward the EU.

We talked about this a lot. I understand that we need the support of several countries. And Poland, as I understand it, is hesitant to be alone with this decision. It wants the support of other countries in NATO. I think this would lead to a positive decision on the part of Romania as well. But here we all need to work to ensure that the United States supports this decision. Then it will be easier for us. Then we can focus some of the things that we have in different regions that protect this or that direction in other areas where, unfortunately, we do not have air defense yet. And I would very much like to see such a solution. We will work and believe in it

- Zelensky said.

Recall
