Trump administration has not approved interceptor missile transfer to Ukraine, Washington Post reports
Ukraine says 12 Patriot interceptors a month are being sent as Hegseth has not approved additional missiles already paid for by allies.
- According to U.S. officials, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has stalled the transfer of Patriot air defense interceptor missiles to Ukraine by withholding required administrative approvals, even though no formal directive prohibiting the transfers has been issued.
- Mounting diplomatic friction between Kyiv and Washington persists as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that current shortfalls undermine Ukraine's ability to defend essential energy infrastructure against Russian ballistic attacks.
- Zelenskyy stated the U.S. currently supplies only 12 Patriot missiles per month, while European partners funded interceptors through the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List , awaiting final U.S. approval.
- Ukrainian officials accused the Pentagon on Monday of deliberately withholding missiles, though U.S. officials denied changing intelligence-sharing policies, attributing early warning failures to software malfunctions.
- Nearly 500,000 people lost power after Russian strikes on energy facilities, making the administrative standoff critical as Kyiv scrambles to replenish air defenses before winter intensifies.
