There was a time when we lacked antiballistic missile capabilities, but Russia also did not possess such a large number of ballistic missiles. Today, however, Kiev is subjected to massive strikes several times a week, and we are unable to shoot down a single missile," Cherniev told The New York Times newspaper on Thursday. The Ukrainian Air Force admitted that it was unable to shoot down any of the missiles fired at Ukraine on Tuesday night. Later, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha complained that Ukraine faces difficulties with getting PAC-3 missiles for the Patriot systems.
