Ukraine war briefing: Europe needs homegrown missile defence in a year  Zelenskyy
"We need to build our own anti-ballistic missile defence system within a year. Fire Point, maker of Ukraine's Flamingo cruise missile, told Reuters this month that it was in talks with European companies to launch a new air defence system by next year, creating a low-cost alternative to the Patriot."
"A massive night-time drone strike on Chernihiv in northern Ukraine killed a 16-year-old boy and wounded four others, the head of the city's military administration said on Sunday."
"Russian drones also attacked the southern city of Kherson on Sunday, local officials reported. A man died of his wounds after a drone hit a van driving through the city centre."
"Ukraine hit the Atlant Aero drone factory in the city of Taganrog, the Ukrainian military general staff reported. The site lies about 55km east of Russian-occupied eastern Ukraine in south-western Russia."
Ukraine is advocating for a European anti-ballistic missile defense system, as reliance on the US-produced Patriot system is insufficient. President Zelenskyy emphasized the urgency of establishing this system within a year. Fire Point is collaborating with European companies to develop a new air defense system as a cost-effective alternative to the Patriot. Recent drone strikes in Ukraine resulted in casualties, highlighting the ongoing conflict. Ukraine also targeted a drone factory in Russia, indicating its proactive military strategy against threats.
