Western Allies Slash Ukraine's Air-Defence Missile Deliveries to a Third of 2025 Levels

Zelenskiy said on August 5, 2026 that allies delivered only a third as many air-defence interceptor missiles — the munitions used to shoot down incoming threats — as in 2025. Ukraine still intercepts 87–90% of attacks, but its stockpile is shrinking as Russian strikes intensify. Fresh US Patriot missile supplies could take a year or more.
