Zelensky complained that Ukraine could receive 500 American PAC-3 interceptor missiles for Patriot systems in just a few years, despite the US State Department's approval to purchase them. He called on the United States and European countries to transfer missiles from existing stockpiles to Kiev in the winter of 2026-2027, and then renew them through new production. According to him, Ukraine expected to receive 100 interceptors a month. Earlier, the head of government in Kiev accused Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth of delaying the missile shipments, saying he did not sign the necessary agreement for a month. Peskov previously said that Russia closely monitors which countries supply weapons to Kiev and issue licenses for their production, and takes this information into account.
