Zelenskyy Discusses Stronger Air Defences and Starshield Restrictions with Rutte

Zelenskyy said shortages of PAC-2 and PAC-3 interceptors and Starshield disruptions are limiting Ukraine’s ability to stop Russian missiles and drones.

  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Dublin on November 12 on the sidelines of the European Political Community summit to discuss air defense needs.
  • Zelenskyy and Rutte discussed air defense shortages during the meeting, specifically PAC-2 and PAC-3 interceptor missiles amid Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
  • In the first week of this month, Russia launched 115 missiles of various types, exploiting Ukraine's persistent shortage of ballistic missile defenses to destroy energy infrastructure.
  • Zelenskyy added, "Artificial restrictions do not serve peace — they serve the aggressor. Thank you, Mark, for your willingness to help with PAC-2 and PAC-3."
  • Disruptions to Starshield along the front line limit Ukraine's ability to intercept jet-powered Shaheds, while reports indicate the country has exhausted available Patriot missile interceptors.
