“We run out of missiles” –

Ukraine could run out of air defense missiles if Moscow continues its bombing at its pace over the past month. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared this in a speech broadcast last night on TV. “If they continue to strike every day as they have been doing for the last month, we could run out of missiles, and partners know it,” Zelensky said, in what is the starkest recent warning to the West about the deteriorating situation for the ‘Ukraine. The Kiev leader stressed that although Ukraine has enough air defense supplies for the immediate crisis posed by the Russian offensive, it is forced to make difficult choices about what to protect, reiterating the need to receive the Patriots. According to Zelensky, 25 of these air defense systems are needed to completely cover the country.

The alarm raised stems from the signals coming from Ukraine’s show of strength. A new wave of attacks was launched by Russia against Ukraine overnight. Ukrainska Pravda reports that three people were injured in a drone attack in Kharkiv, the country’s second most important city which has been pounded by the Russians in recent days. They are two men aged 87 and 62 and a woman aged 64. Meanwhile, the Kiev General Staff, in a new report, has indicated that “all” of the 17 ‘Shahed’ type drones used by Russia to attack the Ukraine in the last few hours have been “shot down”.
