What happened

Well supportedReported by 27 independent outlets

Kyiv is prepared to suspend strikes on Russian oil refineries if the United States supplies Patriot interceptor missiles for its air defense systems. However, the Pentagon has delayed the delivery of interceptors purchased for Ukraine. This delay occurs as Donald Trump has pressured both Kyiv and Moscow to end attacks on energy infrastructure.
