Igor Terekhov: Kharkiv needs a whole air defence system to protect the sky

Thanks to the permission of Western partners to strike at Russian military targets, Kharkiv is less affected by shelling, but the security situation in the city remains volatile.

Mayor Ihor Terekhov told RBC-Ukraine news agency that several Patriot systems will not be able to fully protect Kharkiv. 

«The systems that were used to fire on the city - S-300 and S-400 systems - were eliminated. After that, of course, the shelling decreased slightly. But today, the Russians are mostly firing at us with FABs and KABs, and we need to do something about it. We need a whole system of state-of-the-art air defence built to protect the skies over Kharkiv», - the mayor said.
