Igor Terekhov: Closing the sky over Kharkiv is the number one task

Today, on February 22, Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov said that the main task for the city authorities is to close the skies over Kharkiv.

Speaking to journalists, the mayor emphasized that Kharkiv needs modern air defense systems that could effectively shoot down, among other things, the missiles flying towards the city. 

"This issue has been raised with the military and the leadership at various levels. For our part, last year alone, we allocated about UAH 135 million for systems that would shoot down chessmen. The city authorities are doing everything possible to maintain security. But now we are knocking on all doors to get modern air defense systems and close the skies over Kharkiv," said Igor Terekhov.
