Ukraine will continue to face a shortage of air defense system missiles until the end of the war due to limited global production, Yuriy Ihnat, Ukrainian Air Force Command spokesperaon, said at a national TV broadcast on June 2.

He emphasized that the problem of missile shortages will remain a pressing issue at least until the war concludes.

"That is why the issue of communication with partners is always ongoing, even publicly, as you can see. And even our soldiers are making appeals to somehow influence this process," Ihnat added.
