The Russians could attack Poland with drones so that partners did not convey the air defense system to Ukraine - Volodymyr Zelenskyy

One of the possible causes of Russia's attack on Poland with drones last night could have been the desire to influence our partners so that they do not convey to Ukraine the air defense system before winter. This was stated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky during a joint with President of Finland Alexander Stubb, a press conference in Kiev.

The head of state also stressed that Russia wanted to check the political reaction of the North Atlantic Alliance and its physical ability to reflect such blows. “In my opinion, the worst thing is that this attack is psychologically like Crimea. And how is it different? Just now the technological war. Now they do not need "green men" as they were called, who just entered your territory. Today is another war. The same role in Poland was played by Russian -made drones, ”the President said.

Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine has already offered Poland its assistance, training and experience gained in defense against Russian aggression. According to the President, Patriot and Samp/T cannot assist in the fight against Shahaneda, because it is an expensive weapon designed to beat ballistic missiles: one missile to the Patriot system costs about $ 2-3 million, while the shock drone is about $ 100,000.

The head of state stressed that Ukraine has a unique experience in building multisystem protection and is ready to share it with partners. “The air forces work when needed and mobile fire groups, drones, different weapons, including helicopters and aviation, work. That is, only a multisystem construction can fight a massive attack of drones, ”the President explained.
