24 in 90 days

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukraine received 24 Patriot interceptor missiles in 90 days from its strategic partner.

Zelenskyy says Ukraine needs an average of 350 Patriot interceptors a month. On the night of Oct 22, Russia launched 21 ballistic missiles at Kyiv, and none were intercepted, he said.

What's next

Zelenskyy has also said Ukraine gets only 12 Patriot missiles a month, about four times fewer than under the Biden administration. He expects Russia to step up ballistic attacks as supplies fall.
