Ukraine receives Patriot systems to bolster air defences against Russia

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, president of Ukraine, claims that the country has more Patriot air defense systems made in the United States.

The most potent defenses against Russian missiles, which were launched almost four years ago, were the sophisticated Patriot systems, which have been used to kill thousands of people in the Russian-led conflict in Ukraine.

Zelenskyy pleaded with Western partners to provide more of these systems, but production restrictions and the need to keep stockpiles prevented their delivery.

Late on Sunday, Zelenskyy posted on social media that “more Patriots are currently being put in operation in Ukraine.” “Of course, more systems are required to safeguard important infrastructure sites and our cities throughout our state,” said one spokesman.

With the US having larger stocks of military supplies and more effective weapons, NATO is coordinating regular deliveries of large weapons packages to Ukraine. European allies and Canada are also purchasing a lot of the equipment from the US, which has larger stocks of available military supplies and weapons.

As quickly as his predecessor, Joe Biden, did, the Trump administration is not providing arms to Ukraine.

In the northeastern Sumy region of Ukraine, Russian drones killed a man and injured five of his family members, including two children. In a separate Sumy attack, two other women suffered injuries.

Russia launched 138 strike and decoy drones and 12 missiles of various types overnight into Monday, according to Ukraine’s air force.

In response to the attacks, regional director Oleh Hryhorov wrote on Telegram that “the Russians deliberately targeted people while they were sleeping.”

One man was hurt when Russian missiles opened fire on a business in the central Dnipro region, according to regional director Vladyslav Haivanenko.

In addition to preventing civilians from getting warm and running water in the winter, Russia has targeted Ukraine’s energy supply to stifle the country’s newly developed drones and missiles.

Southern Mykolaiv’s energy infrastructure is the target of its drones.

According to the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Ukrainian forces overnight attacked Russia’s Saratov oil refinery and started a fire. In almost seven weeks, Ukraine launched its fourth attack on the Saratov installation.

The refinery, which is located 300 kilometers away from the border, processes a large number of million metric tons of oil each year.

In the occupied Luhansk region, Ukraine also claimed to have attacked Russian military installations.

Zelenskyy claimed last week that Russian oil refining capacity has been reduced by 20% due to long-range strikes on Russian refineries.

Moscow’s forces have been attempting to capture Pokrovsk, a transportation and logistics hub in Ukraine, for more than a year, according to a report from Russia on Monday.
