People's Deputy of Ukraine Oleksandr Fedienko said that there were already several projects in the country that are able to neutralize such loitering munitions. "Ukraine has a modern development and not a single one that can interfere into controlling such systems through electronic influence (EW)," said Oleksandr Fedienko. The MP also added that special devices are installed throughout the country that should affect Russian loitering munition.

"These are not one, not two, not three influence transmitters on such loitering munitions. These are hundreds of thousands of devices that are mounted throughout the country," the MP added.
