What happened

Well supportedReported by 28 independent outlets

Kyiv has been under continuous attack from Russia, with the city seeking advanced defense systems amidst the onslaught. The operational capacity of air defenses in Kyiv is severely hampered by a worldwide shortage of Patriot missiles. This shortage is attributed to the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, which has diverted supplies of the advanced systems.
