"There are several possibilities": Zelensky spoke about alternatives to closing the skies over Ukraine

He said this during a press conference with foreign media, reports espresso. TV.

"As for closing the sky, the answer is very simple. Sometimes it seems to me that some representatives of the Western world (so far I say so because we are not in any union), if they sit in a cafe, and until the bomb lands in this cafe, they will not believe that this will happen to them. Until then, no one will close the sky. I have this feeling, I do not want this for anyone, and we do not want it. We do not want the whole world, the whole of Europe to feel how it hurts us," Zelensky said.

According to him, politicians should understand that the opportunity to prevent war should be used before the war. "Especially if you have the opportunity to do so - close the sky," - said Zelensky.

He also said that there are several opportunities to close the skies over Ukraine. In particular, it is to supply Ukraine with missile defense and provide aircraft. At the same time, our state, according to Zelensky, has already found suppliers, and even developed supply logistics, and is ready to pay.

"Ukraine has found in all countries of the world, where it is, to the warehouses. We did not just say: help us. We asked those who have it: give it to us, please. Then we realized that it is difficult for people to just give. We are ready to take it, we are ready to take loans, we are ready to withdraw the last money from our budget and give it away immediately ... We are ready to transport it, to determine through which countries it is impossible to bring, we have already agreed on how to bring it.

So are planes. We were also told that we did not have pilots for some aircraft, and we also found aircraft for which we had pilots. And then we found pilots who are ready to be citizens of our state. How to help us? People from all over the world are ready to provide Ukraine with an alternative to closing the sky. They are ready, but those who decide are not ready, "the president concluded.

It will be recalled that all evidence of war crimes by the Russian occupiers, collected by a special group, will be provided to the Office of the Prosecutor General and our diplomats and politicians to help close the skies over Ukraine from enemy missiles and airstrikes.
