"Sell Ukraine 10% of the U.S. Patriot systems, and we'll destroy all ballistic missiles," Zelenskyy said
Volodymyr Zelenskyy Press Service of the President of Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine has only one-tenth (about 10%) of the interceptor missiles needed to defend against intense Russian ballistic missile attacks.

He made this statement in an interview with CNN.

According to him, even 5% of U.S. stockpiles would be enough to get through the winter, and 10% would allow for the complete neutralization of the enemy’s ballistic capabilities.

Zelenskyy noted that he makes numerous calls every day and is seeking non-public channels to obtain additional missiles.

This year, Ukraine has 2.5 times fewer interceptor missiles than it will have in 2025, while Russia has doubled its monthly use of ballistic missiles.

Zelenskyy also said that efforts to obtain licenses to manufacture missiles for the Patriot system are ongoing—representatives from the manufacturing companies have already visited Kyiv, but no final agreements have been reached yet.

As a reminder, the Russian military command is shifting its priorities in the production of long-range strike systems toward weapons capable of more effectively overcoming Ukraine’s air defense.

In addition, Robert “Madyar” Brovdi, commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, appealed to Ukrainian media and journalists to refrain from using manipulative and misleading headlines that provoke panic among the population.
