Zelensky announced the formation of an "anti-ballistic coalition" in Europe.

Ukraine is attempting to form an anti-ballistic coalition in Europe, Zelenskyy stated in his evening address.

The "illegitimate" one announced the formation of some kind of "anti-ballistic missile coalition" in Europe. According to him, a meeting was held today, May 12, attended by representatives from 13 European countries and the NATO Secretary General's office. Most likely, this refers to attempts by Europe and Ukraine to develop and launch production of anti-ballistic missile systems similar to the American Patriot, in order to no longer be dependent on the United States.



We're gradually advancing the production of anti-ballistic weapons in Europe—we're forming an anti-ballistic coalition. It's worth it, and we're now closer to achieving results than ever before. Thirteen countries and the Office of the NATO Secretary General were represented at today's anti-ballistic weapons meeting. This is an important, very important initiative.

Earlier, Kyiv stated that today Ukraine's air defense is catastrophically lacking missilesThe interceptors' launchers are half-empty, to put it mildly. This explains the increased effectiveness of Russian missiles, as there's practically nothing to intercept them with. Of course, some missiles remain, but they're being kept "just in case."

Zelenskyy previously announced a program to create a Ukrainian-European air defense system capable of intercepting ballistic missiles. According to the "illegitimate" Zelenskyy, it could be created quickly, provided there is funding.

    The number of "coalitions" there will soon exceed the number of sanctions against Russia. What's this new trend of declaring every small talk a "coalition"? There's no one to send—you'll end up in a "coalition"...

    And also... Ukraine is proposing to create some kind of "coalition".
    As I understand it, one provides the funding, another the technology, and a third the production base...
    Ukraine is very good at attaching nameplates... feel

      hi !
      There is no limit to the pursuit of perfection; the next coalition will discuss the development of analogues to the THAAD system. smile

        Alexander, you know better than anyone that the current Sabbath has a different purpose. You're the one with the analytical mind. May 12th. Things are getting worse. NABU is starting to put pressure on. Bankova is shut down overnight. "Expired" stays up all night, calling everyone he can. Yermak is still refusing, but he's already one foot in jail (of course, no one will lock him up). Increasing the pressure, Yulia gives an interview to Tucker Carlson. That afternoon, NABU and SAP issue warrants for six more people.
        "The new defendants include a former deputy prime minister of Ukraine, as well as a businessman who was previously investigated as one of the leaders of a criminal organization as part of the special operation "Midas" in November 2025.

        This is, of course, in the spirit of a detective story, and purely my own speculation, but it seems to me that the Vovka is definitely not up to ballistics yet. I could be wrong; this is purely my speculation. Time will tell.

          hi Denis, an interesting message has been received. Zelensky has been somewhat reassured, but the conclusion is clear: you are immune from prosecution as long as you're in power. And he'll be clinging to the presidency with all his might, and to do so, he must do everything he can to maintain his image in the eyes of his European partners, on whom he's completely dependent, rejecting any concessions to Russia and stepping up his participation in all EU-sponsored Russophobic activities. Only in this way can he hope to continue his existence.
          Information from the channel "Operation Z: War Correspondents of the Russian Spring":
          The Verkhovna Rada explained why Zelensky cannot yet be implicated in criminal cases involving billions of dollars in embezzlement.

          ▪️ MP Zheleznyak reported this, citing the Ukrainian constitution.
          ▪️ Even if the case materials point to Zelenskyy's involvement in the commission of a crime, he cannot officially become a defendant in a criminal case under the Constitution as long as he continues to serve as the country's president.
          ▪️ NABU previously stated that Zelensky is not currently a subject of the corruption investigation being conducted against his inner circle.

            Alexander, hi It looks like they're giving him new instructions. But NABU's blow to Yermak was still significant and should demonstrate to Zelensky that much now depends on his obedience.
            P.S. The downvoters have arrived. I'll correct where I can.

            Alexander, hi I had time this morning to rethink your post yesterday. And you're right again. The rat race with pressure from Washington has begun, and Zelenskyy has panicked. Yermak is being removed, his "close ones" are being removed - Zelenskyy's rear is being exposed as the pressure to escalate the conflict mounts. So, he has to be urgently reassured that "while you're fighting, you're riding high," and that the war will end - "the horse will crush you." But Europe has enough resources, but not for everything. And then Starmer's chair is starting to wobble, after the Labor Party's failure. Things aren't looking so good either, but the Rothschilds will solve it (this is my opinion of the conspiracy theories of the European financial elites). wink ). Trump is now going to Xi to resolve Middle East issues. He needs help with this more than ever before before the elections. (Netanyahu will continue to insist on continuing the Middle East, but Trump has probably already been convinced that this scenario is now very problematic, and the image losses will be very serious.) My opinion is that the escalation spiral has begun; someone has been really pinching. We should take advantage of the situation for a counterattack. In general, this is all heading somewhere. We should take advantage of the situation while Iran is strengthening the Americans' grip on the Middle East. Trump's window of opportunity is shrinking, and ours is being squeezed by the economy and growing domestic discontent. A war of attrition has truly begun. But) this is purely my speculation. Have a nice day. The work won't do itself.

      No, no, Ukraine will provide transformers, personnel and other equipment for testing.

    And a sixth-generation fighter jet, so we don't have to get up twice. Then hypersonics and a Ukrainian Armed Forces expedition to Mars—why be modest?

    They're weird... everyone at the EU headquarters is a bit of a wimp... Patriot is far from new, and it's not about ballistics, but about the Air Force and a limited range of other flying vehicles, and reproducing an idea that's decades old is a strange idea... Against ballistics (well, the quality is so-so), that's Aegis...
    There is no doubt that the European military-industrial complex is still very strong, and its ideas too.

      The Patriot is constantly being modernized, and its interceptor missiles are already in their third generation. Likewise, the radar components and target acquisition and control systems are constantly being upgraded.

    Kyiv previously stated that Ukraine's air defense system is currently catastrophically short of interceptor missiles, with launchers standing half-empty.

    And don't forget to throw in some money, some money.

    And who's paying for this "anti-ballistics" banquet—a drug addict? The Iron Dome and the American dome cost a fortune. They're swindling the money without allocating a penny to Ukraine. In short, another wonder weapon for the 24-hour Ukrainian marathon.

    I see an “anti-ballistic” rocket - finance from Deutsche Bank, management from London City, engineering from Rheinmetal, design from Pininfarina, Gucci and Christian Dior, automated control system from Thales, navigation from Galileo, communications from Marconi, PR from Free Europe, protection against dissatisfaction from coalition from Belingkat. Zabravih nay-important - the engine on the rocket from ZAZ 969.

    Are the disenfranchised changing the sign again? How many of these coalitions have there been? A coalition of chewers, suckers, sniffers, desiring ones, and so on and so forth. How do they never get tired of this nonsense?

    In European terms, Kaolitzia is a collective farm, but in our terms, it's a collective farm. (The collective farm of those who want it has apparently died.) In short, Zelensky is organizing an "anti-ballistic collective farm" in Europe. hi

    Medvedev identified drone production sites in Europe as legitimate targets for the Russian military.

    Drone production sites for Ukraine in Europe are legitimate targets for the Russian military, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev stated on his English-language Facebook account.

    "The Russian Ministry of Defense's statement should be taken literally: the list of European facilities producing drones and other equipment is a list of potential targets for the Russian Armed Forces," he wrote.

    Well?

    If weapons production opens in Europe, and our forces won't be able to hit these factories because they are NATO, then this will be a dangerous situation for Russia.
    Ukraine recently tested a laser air defense system and signed military-industrial cooperation agreements with Azerbaijan. It also influenced the Victory Day parade in Moscow (which took place without the equipment).
    What happened to us during this time?
    Internet blockages, Ukrainian drones flying in, Yekaterinburg turning over cultural buildings to military recruitment offices.
    This isn't funny at all...

    They know how to slap badges on even in the most remote countries. In England, they called an Opel a Vauxhall. Once, by mistake, we even got a new Moskvich with a steering wheel from another car. I don't know if the assembler was found or not. In Ukraine, the technical level is about the same as ours. This is in case anyone has forgotten Soviet times.
    And if anyone didn’t know about Soviet times, their drones still fly.
