💬 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said a tenth of the US current stockpile would be enough to stop all Russian ballistic missile attacks, but 5% would be enough to get #Ukraine through the winter. https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/12/world/patriots-ukraine-zelensky-interview-cnn-latam-intl

❗️Zelensky says Ukraine has only 1% of the US Patriot interceptor stockpile it needs as Russia intensifies ballistic missile attacks. Ukraine has 2.5 times fewer interceptors than in 2025, while Russia is launching twice as many ballistic missiles per month. Zelensky says acquiring 5% of the US stockpile would allow Ukraine to get through winter and save lives, while 10% would enable it to intercept all Russian ballistic missiles. He is seeking to buy the interceptors from the US. #Ukraine
