Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says allies have supplied just a third of the air defence missiles to Ukraine in 2026 compared with last year, as Russia steps up attacks on Kyiv and other major cities.⁣
⁣
Ukraine has faced a shortage of US-made Patriot interceptors, which are among the few systems capable of stopping Russian ballistic missiles. The shortfall has become increasingly critical as Moscow has intensified its strikes in recent weeks.⁣
⁣
During a major attack on Wednesday, Ukraine's air force said its defences failed to intercept any of the 24 ballistic missiles and four Zircon cruise missiles launched by Russia.⁣
