Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a speech on Friday that Ukraine still hasn’t received the ‘David’s Sling’ Israeli missile interception system to use against Russia, but that he believes it’s just a matter of time before the Israeli government sends it, Axios news website reported.

The David’s Sling is a system for intercepting medium-range missiles and drones. Ukraine has requested to obtain missile interception systems several times since the start of the war with Russia, but Israel has so far refused.
