Kyiv is facing a serious shortage of missile-defense ammunition after its supply of Patriot interceptors ran out, according to the report. The development raises concerns about Ukraine’s ability to protect its cities and critical infrastructure from incoming attacks.
Patriot systems are among Ukraine’s most important tools for defending against missiles, making the loss of available interceptors especially significant. The shortage highlights the pressure on Kyiv’s air-defense network as the war continues.
Ukraine’s allies have been reluctant to provide additional interceptors, leaving the country facing uncertainty over how quickly its depleted stocks can be replenished. The standoff underscores the broader challenge of sustaining advanced military support over time.
