The Armed Forces told if Ukraine could create a "dome" with air defense in the coming years

According to the speaker, the creation of such a "dome" is impossible physically, since it is impossible to place the air defense systems along all borders of Ukraine. This requires a tremendous amount of resources, said Yuri Ignat. "In the coming years we will not create any" dome "over the entire territory of Ukraine. It is impossible to physically place air defense systems at such a length A huge state resource and, in particular, human, "Ignat said.
