#Us Aid

Zelenskyy said in a TSN interview that Ukraine did not receive $16 billion in US aid under previous agreements and urged fighting for the promised resources. The statement came ahead of a meeting with US representatives in Abu Dhabi.

Zelenskyy stated that due to the war in the Middle East, Ukraine received only 12 Patriot missiles per month from the US in 2026, while air defense needs are vastly higher. He linked the deficit to interceptor expenditures in the region.

Trump stated that Washington received nothing in return for $350 billion in aid to Ukraine under Biden, and emphasized that Europe is now paying for weapons supplies under PURL.

According to The Washington Post, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth has not approved the transfer of Patriot interceptor missiles from partner countries to Ukraine, although there has been no formal refusal. Kyiv is experiencing an acute shortage of interceptors.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Zelenskyy stated that the US supplies Ukraine with only 12 Patriot missiles a month — four times fewer than under Biden, and part of the paid supplies remains unapproved.

On the night of September 19, Russia struck Ukraine with two 'Zircon' missiles, 174 drones, and 'Bandierols.' Air defense downed 141 targets; strikes were confirmed at 15 locations, with data still being verified.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelenskyy confirms: The US will supply Patriot missiles monthly, but it is not enough. 🚀 📉 Air defense deliveries have decreased by 3 times compared to last year. ⚠️ Zelenskyy: The West may be pressuring Ukraine through a shortage of missiles. 🛡️ Ukraine is accelerating the development of its own defense systems. #Ukraine #Zelenskyy #AirDefense #Patriot #USA

Ukraine has officially requested an urgent delivery of PAC-3 and PAC-2 missiles from the US for protection against ballistic attacks.
