What happened

Well supportedReported by 31 independent outlets

Ukraine has run out of missiles for the US-made Patriot air defense system, increasing vulnerability to Russian ballistic missile attacks. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stated that the United States was delaying the authorization of paid-for missiles needed for Patriot systems.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The interceptors are expensive and globally in short supply, partly due to stockpiles being used in the war in Iran. This situation highlights the structural dependence of Kyiv's defense capacity on NATO's military and financial support.

Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, prompting NATO discussions on Article 4 invocation, alongside drone strikes in Romania.
