Russia attacks Kyiv and Ukraine air defense shortage
Critical Patriot missile shortages leave Ukraine vulnerable.
Event Overview
Russia launched massive missile and drone attacks on Kyiv and surrounding regions, resulting in nearly two dozen deaths and dozens wounded. President Zelenskyy and other reports attribute these casualties to a critical shortage of Patriot interceptors, which are the only weapons capable of stopping Russian ballistic missiles. While Ukraine identifies targets as civilian facilities, Russia claims they were military-linked logistics hubs.
