Zelensky Says 5% of US Patriot Missiles Could Save Ukraine This Winter

President Volodymyr Zelensky told CNN that Ukraine urgently needs more US Patriot interceptors as Russia increases its ballistic missile attacks. He said Ukraine currently has only 1% of the US stockpile, while 5% could help Kyiv survive the winter and 10% could enable it to stop all Russian ballistic missiles.

Zelensky said Ukraine in 2026 had two-and-a-half times less interceptors than it had in 2025.

New production will come too late, U.S. supplies are strained and leading donors say they have few interceptors to spare.
