Ukraine is contracting a supply of around 1,000 missiles for U.S.-designed Patriot air-defence systems with support from allies and through a European Union loan, Defence Minister Yevhenii Khmara said. However, he warned that most of the missiles would be delivered only in the coming years and urged Western partners to provide additional systems from their existing stocks. Khmara also said Ukraine faces a $27 billion funding shortfall for drone supplies. His comments came as Russia resumed near-constant missile and drone attacks on Kyiv, with Ukrainian officials reporting five deaths in the capital. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte called on allies to increase support for Ukraine and strengthen its ability to defend its skies. #ukraine, #russia, #ukrainewar, #russiaukrainewar, #patriotmissiles, #patriot, #airdefence, #kyiv, #kyivattack, #russianstrikes, #ukrainecrisis, #nato, #natoallies, #ukrainemilitary, #russianmissiles, #drones, #dronewar, #geopolitics, #breakingnews, #worldnews
