Porque é importante
A escassez de mísseis interceptores Patriot reduz a capacidade da Ucrânia de enfrentar as raketas balísticas russas. Zelensky avocado que a redução das entregasContrary to the expected volume of 350 interceptors per month could contribute to an intensification of Russian attacks. The delays in approvals at the US Department of Defense are therefore a direct factor in Ukraine's air-defence capacity, while Zelensky says he remains concerned about the reduction in American assistance but does not feel betrayed by Washington.
O que aconteceu
Zelensky announced that Ukraine received 24 Patriot interceptor missiles from the United States over the past three months, or 90 days. According to the president, the country currently receives 12 such missiles per month, approximately a quarter of the supply during the Joe Biden administration, while it needs an average of 350 per month to counter Russian ballistic attacks. He said the air-defence forces failed to intercept any of the 21 ballistic missiles launched against Kyiv on the night of 22 October and linked the shortage of interceptors to Russia's ability to intensify such strikes. Zelensky also reported delays in the supply of resources needed by Ukraine at the US Department of Defense and said Washington was not signing off on missile deliveries largely funded by Europe.

As fontes conciertouasmeric focuses on the severity of the Patriot deficit, the delays within the US Department of Defense and the consequences for Ukraine's ability to defend against Russian ballistic missiles. Zelensky's figures of 24 missiles received over 90 days, a monthly requirement of 350 and delays in supplies are at the centre of the coverage. The materials link the insufficient delivery pace to the inability to intercept missiles launched against Kyiv on 22 October and to the likely intensification of Russian attacks.
Contexto
On 15 October, CNN reported that Ukraine had exhausted its stock of Patriot interceptors and that almost all ballistic missiles during the strike of 14 October were not intercepted because of the shortage of interceptors. On the night of 22 October, Russia launched 21 ballistic missiles against Kyiv and, according to Zelensky, none was intercepted. On another night, on 30 October, Kyiv was struck by 30 ballistic missiles. Zelensky compared the Patriot supply to Ukraine with the use of more than 2,000 Patriot missiles by the United States and Middle Eastern countries against Iranian targets in the first days of the war against Iran. Ukrainian officials previously reported that US defence secretary Pete Hegseth was refusing to approve deliveries of Patriot interceptors paid for by allies.
