President Volodymyr Zelensky sent an urgent letter to US President Donald Trump warning that Ukraine is facing a worsening shortage of air defense systems, particularly anti-ballistic missile capabilities, according to a report on Wednesday, May 27.

According to the Kyiv Independent, the letter warns that Ukraine’s current stockpile of Patriot interceptors and other Western-provided air defense systems may not be sufficient to withstand escalating Russian missile attacks.

Zelensky also said Kyiv is trying to accelerate anti-ballistic missile production in Europe while continuing talks with the United States on additional support.

The U.S. military heavily depleted its Patriot missile stockpile during the recent campaign in Iran, firing approximately 50 percent of its total inventory. The rapid expenditure—estimated between 1,060 and 1,430 Patriot interceptors—has created major concerns over munitions reserves and spurred rapid defense overhauls.

We used 1,700 Patriots in just five weeks in Iran. We produce 600 per year.

We used million dollar patriot missiles to shoot down $30 thousand ddollar shaheed drones.

Sorry, you should have made the deal. Maybe the UK or Germany can help. Besides, Russia is almost bled dry and about to surrender—or is that propaganda? Keep up the deep drone strikes and lose Odessa.
