🚨 🇺🇦 Ukraine is reportedly facing a critical shortage of PAC-3 interceptor missiles used by its Patriot air defense systems, according to The Washington Post.
U.S. officials told the paper that escalating tensions and military demands in the Middle East have significantly disrupted American missile deliveries to Kyiv, leaving Ukraine with only limited Patriot interceptor reserves across the country.
Earlier this year, the Donald Trump administration reportedly pushed several European allies to transfer their own Patriot missile stockpiles to Ukraine. However, some NATO members resisted the request, warning that such transfers could weaken their own national air defense capabilities.
The growing shortage is raising serious concerns about Ukraine’s ability to defend its cities and infrastructure from continued Russian missile and drone attacks.
