Ukraine Says Allied Missile Interceptor Deliveries Fell to One-Third of 2025 Level

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said allied supplies of air-defence missiles in 2026 have fallen to about one-third of the level in 2025. He linked the decline to worsening Russian attacks on Kyiv and the southern port hub, and warned Moscow is trying to accelerate ballistic missile production ahead of winter. Ukrainian forces, he said, have struggled to intercept recent missile launches, highlighting continued shortages of interceptors such as U.S.-made Patriot systems.
