Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for the supply of 100 Patriot interceptor missiles per month, totaling 300 missiles, to bolster Ukraine's air defenses against Russian strikes during the winter, according to the OSINTdefender monitoring channel. The request comes on the same day that Zelensky tasked his ambassadors with securing additional interceptor missiles, as The Zioneer reported earlier. The earlier bulletin noted a critical shortage of Patriot interceptors amid ongoing Russian missile attacks. Zelensky has previously advocated for domestic production lines of Patriot missiles and consulted with U.S. envoys on the supply, according to reports from June and July. The request for 100 missiles per month over three months reflects the scale of Ukraine's defensive needs as winter approaches, when Russia has historically targeted energy infrastructure.
