Ukraine is grateful to the West for the deployment of advanced anti-air missile systems but they are not enough and “much more” is needed.
New air-defence weapons systems given to Ukraine by Western nations are now deployed and “on combat duty” says Air Forces spokesman Yurii Ihnat, who used the statement to reflect on the arrival of new equipment to also call for more. The comments came as fresh Russian airstrikes injured at least 34.
Speaking on Ukrainian television, Colonel Ihnat said: “Believe me, all the Western weapons that are available now, to one degree or another, are working for our victory… But they are not enough. We understand that saying that IRIS-T and Patriot are in Ukraine is quite good news for us, but we still need much more of them.”

“... they are not enough and “much more” is needed.”
Wait until they start rebuilding Ukraine; it’ll cost American Taxpayers TRILLIONS.
Replying to @RadarFennec
Who cares about S-300 - Germany, US, etc are sending Patriot missile systems to replace the S-300

500 Patriot PAC-3 MSE (that is the missile) can be made yearly. Each missile costs over $5 million.
Ukraine uses 200 S-300 missiles a month against Russian attacks according to leaked intel.
Ukraine had over 50 S-300 batteries, They’re getting 4 Patriot batteries.
The standard liberal line, no matter what the issue is: “We have accomplished so much but we need much more of your money to complete the job.”
A couple hundred billion would go a long way......... Well maybe not that long..........
“rebuilding Ukraine”
The most severely damage parts tend to be held by the Russian Federation.
Much of the rest consists of Communist era buildings constructed 50 to 70 years ago. They were lousy from day one.
You’re right, but it’ll still cost us TRILLIONS.
What they need is to get to the negotiating table.
“Ukraine Thanks West for Patriot Missile Batteries, But Says it Needs ‘Much More’”
Especially when Russia takes them out in big batches, as happened yesterday in Pavlograd.
“We have accomplished so much but we need much more of your money to complete the job.”
You’ve got the knowledge to be an NPR programming manager.

Simple solution, East of the Dniepner stays with Vlad- he has the the money to rebuild and the Ukies never wanted the ethnic Russian territories anyway.
West of the Dniepner gets carved up and returned to its historical owners, Poland, Romania, Hungary etc….it might work, however the EU is bankrupt like the US, and as Ukraine is now a 100 percent welfare nation just for survival, establish a DMZ maybe they can become another North Korea.
Maybe we haven't bought them one, yet.

All the money and equipment the US has sent to Ukraine and none of it can be accounted for. What a waste. Might as well have dumped all that cash and equipment into the pacific.
Hint: the Soviet Union was dissolved in 1991 and with it you list.
Good idea!
