President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that when Ukraine's air defence is strong enough, Ukraine will ensure that the whole of Europe is protected from Russian terror.

Quote: "We have shown that there are no Russian missiles that Ukrainians could not shoot down. And when the Ukrainian air shield becomes strong enough, and that will happen, Ukraine will provide real freedom and protection of the whole of Europe from Russian terror. The security of our continent begins here, with the sovereignty and strength of Ukraine."

Details: The president recalled that on 16 July, Ukraine celebrated the 33rd anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of State Sovereignty.

Quote: "Our state will never give up its sovereignty. And this is already obvious to everyone in the world. Despite the Russian terror, we know that Ukrainian freedom will remain anyway, and will win anyway.

Each year, Ukraine will only become stronger and help other free nations to preserve sovereignty and build common security. Ukraine can do it."

The geography allows Ukraine to be in a position to intercept missles from countries in the Middle East.

Title is a little misleading, the actual quote sounds more metaphorical/figurative than the headline. The real quote:

"We have shown that there are no Russian missiles that Ukrainians could not shoot down. And when the Ukrainian air shield becomes strong enough, and that will happen, Ukraine will provide real freedom and protection of the whole of Europe from Russian terror. The security of our continent begins here, with the sovereignty and strength of Ukraine."

The Ukrainian military has done an astounding job against the odds. I’d want them on my side in a war.
