Ukraine has waited nearly a month for US to sign off on Patriot missiles, Zelenskyy says
Ukraine says delayed interceptor approvals are slowing air defenses as Russian missile and drone attacks intensify.
- On Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced Ukraine has waited nearly a month for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to sign off on critical Patriot and NASAMS missile supplies as Russia escalates attacks on energy infrastructure.
- Tensions between Washington and Kyiv escalated after President Donald Trump announced a diesel deal with Russia and criticized Kyiv for striking Russian refineries, which Trump blamed for raising fuel prices.
- Patriot systems remain the only reliable defense against advanced Iskander-M, Kinzhal, and Zircon missiles; while Starlink access recently returned, the critical interceptor shortage persists as winter approaches.
- Defense Secretary Hegseth claimed the United States wants Ukraine to have the "most possible" interceptors, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted nothing was "being deliberately denied to Ukraine."
- Zelenskiy is pursuing multiple supply channels including Europe to secure 300 interceptors required for winter, and he instructed his team to re-engage Washington regarding the stalled approvals.
