Ukraine Runs Out of Patriot Defense Missiles, Leaving It More Vulnerable to Russian Attacks, Source Tells CNN

A source said nearly all recent Russian ballistic missiles got through as Ukraine’s Patriot stockpile reached zero, officials said.

  • On Thursday, Ukraine has run out of US-made Patriot interceptor missiles, leaving the country more vulnerable to Russian ballistic missile attacks, a source told CNN.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned for months about dwindling defensive stocks, with shortages persisting amid a bitter public feud with President Donald Trump over energy strikes.
  • Russian ballistic missiles struck three power plants in Kyiv and targeted energy infrastructure in Kharkiv overnight into Wednesday, killing four people and injuring 25, with most missiles unintercepted.
  • Zelensky claimed the American response to his request for air defenses was to "weaken Starlink's service," while pleading publicly on Wednesday for additional Patriot interceptor packages.
  • Despite pressure from Washington to halt strikes on Russian fuel facilities, Ukraine announced plans to continue targeting refineries, following Zelensky's claim of betrayal by Trump's diesel deal.
