## Resource

Kyiv endured a devastating wave of Russian missiles and drones that killed at least twelve civilians, exposing a critical gap in Ukraine’s air defenses—especially its shortage of Patriot interceptors, a vulnerability Russia is exploiting ahead of a major NATO summit. Just days earlier, a similar strike killed thirty-one in the capital, the deadliest day this year. While Ukraine intercepted most drones and cruise missiles, ballistic missiles slipped through, highlighting global supply constraints fueled by Middle Eastern demand. President Zelenskyy is calling on Western allies to urgently deliver interceptors, warning that without them, Russia will continue targeting civilians—and that the world has the power to stop this terror.
