Ukraine seeks Western support to destroy Russian missiles
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed that his country needs to purchase five percent of the United States' stock of "Patriot" missile interceptors to get through the winter, and up to 10 percent to eliminate all Russian ballistic missiles. This is in the context of ongoing intense Russian attacks on Kyiv and a 60% reduction in Ukraine's stockpile of interceptors compared to 2025. He requested that American partners sell him a portion of their stock to help protect Ukrainian territory and defeat Russian missiles, especially since intercepting ballistic missiles is more difficult and requires advanced systems like the Patriot. He emphasized that Moscow has double the number of ballistic missiles each month compared to before, and Ukraine is facing heavy missile strikes, with Russia firing over 450 missiles in July, including around 200 ballistic missiles.
