Zelenskyy Announces Progress in Securing Air Defense Missiles and Artillery Supplies

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has reported improvements in ammunition supplies for European air defense systems and artillery. This was highlighted in his evening address on Sunday, March 16.

“Just now, Defense Minister Umerov reported to me on the fulfillment of tasks related to air defense – missiles for IRIS-T, NASAMS, and SAMP/T,” Zelenskyy said. “There are good results in securing artillery contracts – additional shells will be provided for our army.”

Additionally, Zelenskyy stated that the Defense Minister provided an update on preparations for the next Ramstein meeting.

“We are preparing for Brussels. We are also working on a concrete security guarantees system for Ukraine: this week, a meeting of military representatives took place in France, and a meeting in the UK is being prepared. The first steps toward security guarantees are being taken,” Zelenskyy concluded.

According to a report by Corriere della published on March 14, Ukraine has urgently requested additional Aster-30 missiles for its Samp-T air defense systems from Italy and France as its existing stockpiles are nearly exhausted.

On March 13, AP reported that Ukraine no longer has any long-range ATACMS previously supplied by the United States.

At the same time, Reuters wrote on March 13 that the US is set to resume shipments of GLSDB to Ukraine after making improvements to counter Russian electronic jamming.
