Ukraine must 'unblock' Patriot missile delivery, Zelenskyy says after deadly strikes
GMA via Yahoo ^ | October 25th, 2026 | DAVID BRENNAN

Russian drone and missile attacks on multiple Ukrainian regions killed at least four people on Saturday night, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a post to social media on Sunday.

Ukraine's air force said Russia launched 153 drones along with an unspecified number of cruise missiles into the country in its latest round of attacks. The air force said that 119 drones were shot down or otherwise suppressed, with impacts reported in 15 locations.

Zelenskyy has repeatedly criticized the U.S. for failing to ensure an adequate supply of missiles. The Ukrainian leader told ABC News during an interview in Kyiv last week that his country needs to be supplied with around 350 Patriot interceptors each month to defend against Moscow's attacks.

The Neocons are trying to figure out why Russia will no longer sell us the raw materials we need to build Patriots...intended to shoot down Russian planes. None of their ‘sophisticated’ economic models (particularly, Just-in-Time production) ever mentioned that bombing a supplier country just might get them mad at us.

I understood the blockage was a lack of flowing, Your-a-peein’ funds to buy the US missiles that they’ve kept at more of a dribble.

“Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a post to social media”

this fool MUST know that this is NOT how you conduct legitimate negotiations with a superpower, so he must be playing politics trying to kneecap President Trump in the midterms ...

Z is appealing to Spain, Greece and Germany for 300 of their older patriot missiles.

The president described a plan under which transfers from European nations holding Patriot inventories – including Greece, Spain, and Germany – would bridge the gap until bilateral German procurement contracts and the 10-nation FREYJA anti-ballistic project become operational.

“We don’t owe the Ukes a damn thing.”

Tell them that. They don’t seem to understand that the silver spoon doesn’t apply like Z wants. He’s like a baby, he wants what he wants and cries when he doesn’t get it. And in most cases it is not enough. He’s a sponge.

This was part of the deal when they separated from Russia in the early 1990’s. They had to know it would come to this at some point that they would have to stand behind the “brave” words they used about sessession. The US had the revolution just like every fledgling country begins. This is the Ukraine’s oppotunity to prove their worth. Shut your mouth Z and lead your country with all the ideas your predecessors had on how defend yourself. The US is busy in many other places to make you the chosen one. You ain’t that special. And you ain’t helping your cause by blaming others for for your problems.

As it goes...”A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.”

Ukraine has already proven its worth. They have for 1,704 days fought the #2 military in the world, Russia, who has a 4 to 1 manpower advantage over Ukraine to a stalemate, while having no navy and basically no air force.

Did anybody at start of the Russian invasion in 2022 really believe Ukraine would be able to hold off the Russians for more than 4 1/2 years?

Why is my tax dollar bought military hardware, and cash to pay the infrastructure, being sent to an idiot borne through Democrat money laundering schemes. The pair, Russia/Ukraine, have tossed the shuttlecock on numerous occasions in history.

All I can see is aan opportunity to export our latest miltoy and get it “blooded”.

Because none of your tax dollars are going to Ukraine.

Europe is BUYING US weapons through the PURL initiative from the US. Exactly what Trump wanted.

Yes which is why Z agreed to hold elections if Putin agreed to a 60 day truce. Putin said no.
