- On May 31, Zelensky said Ukraine had received the German system the previous day.
- The short-range variant reaches 12 kilometers, the medium-range variant 40; experts say IRIS-T cannot intercept ballistic missiles.
- The delivery comes amid continuing attacks on civilian and critical infrastructure and a shortage of air defense systems.
- Sweden announced 16 used Gripen C/D jets and will help Ukraine acquire up to 20 newer Gripen E aircraft.
All these strikes were directed simply at ordinary civilian infrastructure – residential buildings and energy facilities.— Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukrainian President, said during remarks on May 31.
