Ukraine is facing a shortage of Patriot air-defence missiles as Russian attacks continue to outpace the supply of interceptors, former Ukrainian Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said in an interview with Serhiy Sternenko. Fedorov said Russia launches more missiles in a week or month than Ukraine receives during the same period, citing production constraints in the United States. Under the PURL programme, Ukraine’s allies contribute funding toward the purchase of PAC-2 and PAC-3 Patriot missiles, but Fedorov said European countries also lack sufficient stocks to replenish Ukraine’s supplies. Finland’s Defence Minister Antti Häkkänen said Helsinki would not transfer Patriot missiles to Ukraine, saying this could jeopardise Finland’s air-defence readiness. Häkkänen said the United States should address the shortage by accelerating missile production. #ukraine #russia #ukrainewar #russiaukrainewar #patriot #patriotmissiles #airdefence #airdefense #ukrainemilitary #russianmissiles #missil
