The Ukrainian leader besides reiterated his appeal to abroad partners to support air defense, including the capture missiles to the Patriot systems. Kiev has long shown that these sets are of peculiar importance in countering parts of rocket threats.

Russia uses air terror
Russian rocket and drone attacks are a permanent component of the war against Ukraine. Their goal is energy infrastructure, industrial plants and cities. defence against specified impacts consumes costly missiles and requires continuous replenishment of supplies.
Moscow hopes to exhaust its opponent. Each wave of air raid measures forces Ukraine to make hard decisions about utilizing limited resources. Therefore, the request for Patriot missiles is not a question of Zelenski's political image. It concerns the ability to defend people and infrastructure from Russian aggression.
However, military aid must be subject to control, accounting capacity and clear determination of the interests of the supporting States. Solidarity does not release Polish authorities from the work to safe their own magazines and their own sky.
Poland must look at its own security
For Poland, all massive attack on Ukraine means increased hazard at the NATO border. In specified situations, it is crucial that military procedures, reconnaissance and fast flow of information to the population are effective. The public must not be accustomed to picking up aircraft or launching defence systems. There is simply a real threat behind these actions.
Warsaw should support Ukraine's defence where it weakens Russian capabilities for further aggression. At the same time, all decision to transfer equipment must leave Poland with adequate reserves. Self-security cannot be a position to negociate under force from allies or media emotions.
Russia tests the resilience of the countries of the region patiently and violently. Poland's answer should be full of magazines, developed anti-aircraft defence and strong army. Zelenski's informing shows the stakes clearly: the peace on the east flank will not last thanks to declarations.
