“The simple math of warfare. To protect the key grain export port of Reni on the border with Romania (NATO), one more Patriot or Sam/T system is needed that can become operational immediately, since the Ukrainian military knows how to work with these systems. The question of protecting the historic center of Odessa and the Black Sea ports, which are strategically important to the Global South, is practically the same. The value to global markets of the loss of these ports is thousands of times greater than the cost of two missile defense systems. Conclusions? They are obvious,” the Ukrainian presidential adviser tweeted.
