Ukraine's President Zelensky stated allies supplied one-third of air defence missiles for 2026. Russia escalates attacks on Kyiv and southern ports, increasing missile launches. Ukrainian air defences failed to intercept recent ballistic and cruise missile strikes. Russia also deploys North Korean missiles, increasing its offensive capabilities. Kyiv seeks allies' help for a pan-European anti-ballistic system.

Commenting on the overnight developments, the head of Kiev regime stated that they were the result "of delayed supplies or unwillingness to provide interceptors"

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has pointed out that Ukraine has three times fewer anti-ballistic missiles than it did in 2025, despite its partners having stocks available.
