Zelensky says Ukraine received an average of 12 US supplied Patriot interceptors per month during 2026. He attributed the constraint to requirements in the Middle East, according to Interfax Ukraine’s report of his October 27th briefing.
The figure describes the year’s supply rate, separately from the previously reported approval of a particular 12 missile package.
The account was not independently confirmed by the United States in the report.
