Ukraine runs out of Patriot interceptor missiles, CNN reports

Ukraine has run out of missiles for its Patriot air defense systems, according to a CNN report citing an unnamed informed source on Thursday. This leaves the country more vulnerable to Russian ballistic missile attacks. The report stated that during a recent Russian attack, "almost no Russian ballistic missiles were intercepted." A ballistic strike on Wednesday night hit three power plants in Kyiv and targeted energy infrastructure in Kharkiv, killing four people and wounding 15 in the capital. The shortage comes amid escalating public tension between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump has pressured Ukraine to stop striking Russian oil infrastructure and declared an "energy ceasefire" that only Ukraine observed, while Zelensky has vowed to continue attacks on Russian refineries.
