Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine and its European partners are advancing plans to establish an anti-ballistic coalition and expand the production of anti-ballistic defense systems in Europe.
As reported by UATV English, Zelenskyy made the statement in a video address published on Telegram following a meeting of national security advisors attended by representatives of 13 countries and the office of the NATO Secretary General.
“I want to thank our European partners today. There was a meeting at the level of national security advisors. We are gradually advancing the issue of producing anti-ballistic systems in Europe — we are forming an anti-ballistic coalition,” Zelenskyy said.
According to the Ukrainian president, the initiative has reached its most promising stage so far.
“It is worth doing this, and now we are closer to results than ever before,” he added.
Zelenskyy stressed that Ukraine’s current positions — both on the battlefield and in cooperation with international partners — are the strongest they have been in years. He also pointed to progress in what he described as “long-range sanctions” pressure against Russia.
The president emphasized the importance of maintaining and strengthening Ukraine’s defense and diplomatic capabilities through coordinated international cooperation.
“There are no victories of one alone, and there is no resilience of one alone,” Zelenskyy said. “We must achieve the main goal — and this is our common goal, which we will not abandon. We will not give up our land or our sovereignty.”
According to Zelenskyy, strengthening anti-ballistic defense capabilities in Europe is becoming an increasingly important component of broader regional security architecture amid continued Russian missile threats.
