Russian drones are increasingly crossing the airspace of NATO countries and allies. At the same time, the only country that shot down the Shaheds was Belarus.

During his speech at the 20th annual meeting of the Yalta European Strategy, Volodymyr Zelensky called this fact humiliating. What else the Ukrainian guarantor said, 24 Kanal reports.

NATO cannot decide to shoot down the Shaheds

Volodymyr Zelensky pointed out that the allies shot down drones in the skies over the Middle East when they attacked Israel – however, there is no such decision regarding Ukraine. The President pointed out that this is not done even when Russian missiles and drones are heading to the territory of Ukraine's neighbors.

Zelensky notes that partners are afraid to even talk about this issue.

So far, only Belarus has distinguished itself by shooting down Russian “Shaheds”. Well, I didn't think it would be in this format. And this is really, I think, simply humiliating. It is humiliating for a strong democratic world, he points out.

Western partners know where Russia is gathering its forces, they know where Russian air defense is located, what positions the launchers are deployed to – the allies know the key logistics routes.

“All this can be destroyed in a matter of months. A war lasts ten years. A full-scale one lasts almost three. That is, what is missing to end it?? Force, decisions or desire,” Zelensky emphasizes.

The President of Ukraine noted that Russia is still continuing to produce its weapons at maximum, receiving components for this from all over the world. According to the Ukrainian guarantor, it is cheaper for Putin to continue terror than for us to defend ourselves from the same terror. The logistics of weapons in Russia and the sites for Russian strikes are not accessible to defensive strikes by Ukraine.
