NATO allies fear that Donald Trump may delay sending more Patriot missiles to Ukraine until after the US midterm elections, Euronews reports. Kyiv is still waiting for Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth's approval to transfer new interceptor missiles. The NATO publication sources characterize the situation as "unpredictable" and cannot specify the timing of the possible arrival of the weapons. According to allies, the US president could use the provision of military aid as a tool to pressure the Ukrainian leadership, seeking concessions from Kiev. At the same time, the situation of the Ukrainian air defense is complicated by the need to repel Russian attacks, and the stocks of American interceptor missiles are decreasing.
