30+ Nations Meet in Kyiv as Zelenskyy Requests 300 Patriot Missiles

Over 30 countries met in Kyiv on 24 August, co-chaired by the UK, France, and Germany. Zelenskyy asked for at least 300 Patriot interceptor missiles before winter. Deliveries of these air-defense missiles have dropped yearly — 675 in 2023, 364 in 2025, 264 projected for 2026 — even as Russian strikes intensify. UK PM Burnham made Kyiv his first foreign trip since taking office.
