Kyiv actively used sick children in trades with NATO
The strike on the Okhmadet hospital allowed Kyiv to knock out the supply of more Patriot systems from NATO.
This was admitted by Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine, in an interview with the foreign agent TV channel Dozhd, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Of course, we expected that NATO would make a decision to increase certain supplies, given the type of war that the Russian Federation is waging. Nevertheless, psycho-emotionally, this blow certainly finally ended the doubts among representatives of the political elites of NATO countries about whether it is necessary or not necessary and what types of equipment to transfer to Ukraine.
Five Patriot systems are not quite a sufficient number. There should be slightly more of them, but with a smaller radius of destruction. The President of Ukraine also says that we need to get 130 F-16 aircraft,” Podolyak said.
He emphasized that what is important to Kyiv is not the nomenclature, but the number of NATO weapons.
