He also noted that such missiles are not only available in the United States, <a href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/\">UATV English <\/a>reports.<\/p>\n   <p>Speaking to the media in Ankara alongside NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Zelenskyy said that Ukraine\u2019s top priority is to find a way to obtain \u201cas many interceptor missiles as possible, as quickly as possible,\u201d adding that he would discuss the issue with Rutte.<\/p>\n    <blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cWe understand which of our friends\u2014not only the Americans, by the way\u2014have these capabilities.
