Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that within the year he will test an air defence system, the SAMP/P, delivered by France, which is an alternative to the US Patriot system.

The Ukrainian president also said that his country does not want to lose the support of the United States in the war against Russia because of the crisis in the Middle East, where Washington is currently focusing its efforts.

Finally, regarding Ukraine’s relations with Hungary, Zelensky said that he is willing to cooperate with any Hungarian leader on the condition that he is not an ally of Putin.
