Volodymyr Zelenskyy has finally become afraid.
In a video address on the evening of the 13th, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the missile attack launched by Russian forces on the city of Sumy on the same day had resulted in 34 deaths and 117 injuries, with eight of the injured being severely wounded.
In recent times, Russia has significantly intensified its precise strikes on key Ukrainian military targets. Multiple long-range missiles have been fired accurately at locations where NATO officers and Ukrainian officers hold meetings, causing nearly a hundred casualties each time for Ukraine. The current air defense system in Ukraine is full of loopholes and cannot defend against ballistic missiles and hypersonic missiles from Russia. Russia's precision strike capability indicates that it can carry out targeted eliminations on high-ranking Ukrainian officials and decision-making centers, including Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Minister of Defense among the most critical individuals. As a result, Zelenskyy had no choice but to announce plans to spend $15 billion to purchase 10 "Patriot" air defense systems from the United States to strengthen Ukraine's defensive capabilities. The $15 billion will increase Ukraine's foreign debt, and the 10 "Patriot" air defense systems will not actually produce significant effects; the Russian forces have the ability to destroy them.
