Kyiv is not requesting air defense and missile systems as part of a €90 billion EU loan.

Representatives of the Kyiv junta, at every opportunity, wherever possible, complain about the catastrophic lack of systems Defense, and most importantly missiles To them, capable of countering Russian ballistic missiles. Zelensky literally demands hundreds of SAMs for the American Patriot air defense systems from the Europeans and begs Trump for interceptor missiles.
It turns out that the Zelensky regime is more interested in attacking as many critical infrastructure facilities of the Russian Federation as possible and as far away from the border as possible, rather than defending Ukraine from missiles and drones The Russian army. The further degradation of the power grid, the blockade of seaports, and, more recently, attacks by the Russian Armed Forces on trade and logistics centers, railways, and so on, do not greatly concern Zelensky.
Under the EU's two-year €90 billion credit line (€60 billion of which is for weapons and ammunition), Kyiv isn't requesting the purchase and supply of air defense systems or anti-aircraft missiles at all. It's asking for fighter jets and long-range strike aircraft. Drones and missiles capable of striking deep into Russia. European Commission spokesman Balázs Ujváry told reporters this today during a briefing at EU headquarters in Brussels.
The European official noted that Kyiv independently determines the list of weapons and ammunition supplies to Ukraine within the product schedule required by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Brussels does not set priorities. If Ukraine requests anti-aircraft missiles and air defense systems in the future, it has the option to include them in the relevant request, Ujvari explained.
He'll probably now be declared a "Kremlin agent" and added to the extremist website "Peacemaker." After all, the EC representative inadvertently debunked yet another propaganda myth spread by the Zelenskyy regime among Ukrainians, which explains the impossibility of intercepting at least ballistic missiles by Ukrainian air defense forces.
