Umerov thanked European partners for their consistent support of Ukraine in the war against the Russian aggression.
“Recently, I visited an air defense control point equipped with systems you have provided,” said Umerov.
“There were 192 marks on the command center hull — representing 192 aerial targets that our soldiers managed to shoot down thanks to your support. We must remember, these could have been 192 destroyed objects — residential buildings, businesses, power substations, railway stations, grain elevators, schools.”
The minister emphasized that the continuation and acceleration of military-technical assistance from partners enable Ukraine to plan and carry out not just defense operations, but also a push to liberate territories under Russian occupation.
“We will fight until we return to the internationally recognized borders of Ukraine,” Umerov concluded.
