New air defense system for Ukraine, 'will continue to target enemies'

 Ukraine has announced the acquisition of more air defense systems from Western countries, including surface-to-air missiles and Aspid missiles from Italy.

According to the AFP news agency, Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Ryzenkov said that these weapons will strengthen the Ukrainian army and secure the skies.

He thanked his allies Norway, Spain and the United States and said, "We will continue to target the attacking enemies."

On the other hand, the elections in the United States have put a question mark on the ongoing military aid to Ukraine.

Analysts believe that the election will give the Republican Party the upper hand in Congress and the Senate, which could also affect aid to Ukraine.

Members of the Republican Party have often expressed concern about the budget allocated to Ukraine, but President Joe Biden has assured Ukraine of unwavering support while addressing these concerns.

Over the past several weeks, Russian attacks have targeted Ukraine's power system, destroying 40 percent of power plants.

In the statement issued by the administration of Kiev, citizens have been asked to use electricity as little as possible, while the mayor of the city has also expressed the fear of the possibility of a complete blackout.

According to the Ukrainian presidency, Russia launched four missiles and carried out more than 24 airstrikes across the country in a 24-hour period on Monday.

A report published in the American newspaper Washington Post two days ago said that the administration of the American president has personally urged Ukrainian leaders to negotiate with Russia instead of demanding the removal of President Vladimir Putin from office. .

According to the report, U.S. officials said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's refusal to negotiate with his Russian counterpart has raised concerns in countries other than Europe, where the effects of the war are visible in the form of rising oil and food prices. .

The report, without naming U.S. officials, said the U.S. push for talks with Ukraine was not meant to pressure, but to ensure that countries affected by the war continue to cooperate with Kiev. .
