Russia attacked Kyiv overnight with ballistic missiles and other weapons, killing one and wounding 16 people, local authorities said, again highlighting Ukraine’s shortage of US-made Patriot air defence systems. Russia launched 41 missiles and 125 drones across Ukraine overnight.
US President Donald Trump has said he is prepared to grant Ukraine licenses to produce Patriots, the most effective means of intercepting Russian ballistic missiles, potentially bolstering Kyiv’s defences against Russian strikes.
