Zelensky warns in a ZDF interview that Ukraine faces a critical shortage of U.S.-made Patriot air-defense missiles (PAC-3), a problem worsened by the Middle East conflict and a reduction in U.S. aid; Kyiv says Germany and Norway have stepped up contributions under the PURL, and Berlin has agreed to supply PAC-2 missiles and extra IRIS-T launchers, but deliveries remain slower than needed.
