Ukraine may lose Kharkov if it does not receive two Patriot systems, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky told ABC in an interview, APA reports.
"We need two Patriot systems. Russia will not be able to occupy Kharkov if we have those," he said.
Zelensky asked US Secretary of State Antony Blinken at a meeting on Tuesday to provide two Patriot systems to defend Kharkov, but the US diplomat did not give him an unequivocal answer.
"The situation is very serious. We cannot afford to lose Kharkov," Zelensky added.
