After major attacks – Zelensky asks the US for missiles

It is “absolutely necessary” that the US assists Ukraine with more missiles for the Patriot air defense system, writes the country’s President Volodymyr Zelensky on X.

During the night of Tuesday, at least 16 people were killed in Russian attacks on Ukraine, reports the AP. It is in a post about the attacks that Zelensky asks the US to send more Patriot missiles.

As recently as last week, Zelensky sent a letter with the same request to both Donald Trump and the US Congress. So far, however, the Ukrainian prayers have been ignored, writes The Guardian.
