#Patriot Missiles

Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Kirill Budanov told La Stampa that deliveries of interceptor missiles for Patriot in 2026 will be lower than in 2025 and insufficient to counter ballistic strikes. He did not name specific figures.

Following the Summit of the Coalition of the Willing in Kyiv, Zelensky reported the delivery of Patriot missiles, Crotale systems, and AIM interceptors, as well as targeted support packages for regions, the energy sector, and drone production.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the arrival in Ukraine of a new limited batch of interceptor missiles for Patriot air defense systems. The delivery was made as part of emergency aid from allies; the exact volume and the specific supplier are not officially disclosed.

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Andy Burnham, stated that in September he will travel to the US together with European leaders to persuade Donald Trump to provide Ukraine with part of the Patriot missile stockpiles.

Ukraine's Permanent Representative to the UN, Andriy Melnyk, called the Security Council's inability to stop Russia a "disgrace," urged partners to transfer all available Patriots to Kyiv, and announced the creation of a global coalition for air defense missile production.

Following a nearly two-hour conversation between Zelensky and Macron, the two sides agreed to accelerate the delivery of air defense systems. France will help secure missiles for the Patriot and provide production licenses.

🇵🇱 A scandal has erupted in Poland: ex-minister Błaszczak called the transfer of Patriot missiles to Ukraine a security threat, but the MoD responded harshly — calling his stance "madness". 🚀 Key facts: • Błaszczak: Missiles are needed to protect Polish families, not to be given away. • MoD: It is safer to shoot down missiles over Ukraine than to wait for them over Warsaw. • Trigger: The July 30 incident when a Russian missile violated Polish airspace. • Volumes: The issue concerns a few PAC-3 missiles. 📉 This is a new round of struggle in Warsaw: opposition vs. Tusk's government. #Poland #Ukraine #Patriot #Błaszczak

🇪🇺 **Europe Breaks Records, but the US Remains the Main Weapons Supplier** According to a report by the Kiel Institute (Aug 13, 2026), military aid to Ukraine reached €7.2 billion in June. This is the highest level since 2024. 📉 **Context:** • Direct US aid ceased in February 2025. • The average monthly aid volume dropped from €3.46 billion to €2.94 billion. • The June surge is a one-off transaction from a new EU fund (€90 billion). 🇺🇸 **Paradox:** Europe pays with its own money but buys American weapons (especially Patriots), as there are no domestic analogues. 🚁 **Trends:** Sharp growth in drone financing: €1.6 billion in the first 4 months of 2026 (4 times more than in all of 2022). #Ukraine #MilitaryAid #EU #USA #Analytics
