Ukraine Says Air Defense Shortage Is Turning Russia’s Missile Attacks More Deadly

Описание: Russia launched another overnight missile attack on Ukraine, and officials in Kyiv say the damage was severe. President Zelenskyy says at least 17 people were killed after air defenses failed to stop the incoming ballistic missiles. He argues the biggest problem is the shortage of Patriot interceptor missiles, saying delays in new supplies are leaving cities more exposed. Ukraine has been asking its allies for more air defense support for months, warning that every delay can have deadly consequences. Russia has stepped up these large missile attacks throughout the summer, putting even more pressure on Ukraine’s defenses. The exact military situation is difficult to verify independently, but one thing is clear: the battle is no longer only about the front lines. It is also about whether Ukraine can keep protecting its skies before the next wave of missiles arrives.
