Zelenskyy Says U.S. Patriot Deliveries to Ukraine Are Too Slow

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the United States has delivered Patriot missile interceptors but that the pace of shipments has been too slow. He made the comments after what he described as the largest Russian strike on Kyiv to date. The attack damaged residential buildings and caused civilian deaths.

"We are asking President Trump... rush," Zelenskyy said. He pointed to debris and added that slow arrivals mean "these people lost not only their apartments... "

He said the current delivery schedule leaves Ukrainian air defenses short during intensified Russian strikes. The statement did not include new figures on how many systems are still expected or when they might arrive.
