No ports will be left in Ukraine in two to three months without reinforcement of air defence – Humeniuk
To protect port infrastructure, F-16 fighters are needed, which can hit russian missile carriers
No ports will be left in Ukraine in two to three months without reinforcement of its air defence.
This was reported by Natalia Humeniuk, a representative of the Operational Command South, according to LB.ua.
The spokeswoman emphasised that Ukraine needed American F-16 fighters to protect, in particular, its port infrastructure. These aircraft can directly target russian missile carriers, such as ships in the Black Sea.
She added that Ukraine already had Western air defence systems, but russia "continually refines its tactics and never stops".
According to Humeniuk, the attacks on sea ports in Odessa Oblast are necessary for the occupiers to dominate the Black Sea and establish a monopoly on grain.
Background. Earlier, Mind reported that the occupiers had damaged and partially destroyed 26 port infrastructure facilities over the past few weeks. In addition, during this time, five civilian vessels were damaged as a result of russian attacks.
