Ukraine Urges NATO for Patriot Missiles | US News

Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy is urgently begging NATO allies for Patriot interceptor missiles after a devastating Russian ballistic missile strike on Kyiv killed 23 and wounded over 100. With Ukraine’s defenses unable to stop these missiles due to a critical shortage, Zelenskyy warns that Russian aggression is being emboldened by the global scarcity of interceptors — a problem worsened by ongoing conflicts. Ukraine’s Defense Minister reveals Russia fires more ballistic missiles in a month than the world produces for the Patriot system, exploiting the gap to target civilians. Search and rescue teams are racing to save lives amid rubble, while Kyiv’s government demands immediate transfers from allied stockpiles, promising future replenishment. As Zelenskyy prepares to lobby world leaders, including Trump, at the NATO summit, Ukraine’s plea is clear: deploy these missiles now to save lives — and then replenish them later.
