Zelenskyy: Ukraine received only 24 Patriot missiles from US over 3 months
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told ABC News that Ukraine has received just 24 interceptor missiles for Patriot air defence systems from the United States in the past three months. He said the country needs about 350 per month.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said his country has received only 24 interceptor missiles for Patriot air defence systems from the United States during the past three months. The figure points to a wide gap between deliveries and needs in a country that continues to come under Russian missile attack. He made the remarks in an interview with ABC News, as reported by European Pravda.
Needs far higher
Zelenskyy said Ukraine requires an average of 350 Patriot interceptors per month. The quantity delivered over three months is considerably smaller than the monthly requirement he cited.
He also said that 30 ballistic missiles struck the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, on the night of 21-22 October alone.
Attitude towards Washington
The president said he did not feel betrayed by the United States, but expressed regret over the lack of American assistance. "I feel what I feel. It's not supportive," he said.
Earlier statements
A few days ago, Zelenskyy said the US Department of Defense was delaying deliveries of resources that Ukraine needs. Previously, he accused the United States of trying to pressure Kyiv into capitulating to Russia.
