Zelensky Announces Deal for Delivery of Crucial Patriot Air Defense Missiles
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that an agreement has been signed to supply a new batch of Patriot air defense missiles, though he did not specify the donor country. This deal addresses critical shortages as Russia increasingly uses ballistic missiles and jet-powered drones, causing significant damage and casualties in cities like Kyiv and Kharkiv. The Patriots, which are scarce globally due to high demand from conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, are part of a winter defense package purchased by European allies from the United States.
