NATO pledges urgent air defense support for Ukraine as Moscow ramps up missiles
TL;DR Summary
NATO will urgently supply Ukraine with air defenses after Kyiv failed to shoot down a Russian strike, while Zelensky warns Moscow plans to massively boost ballistic missile production for winter. Russia fired 24 ballistic missiles, with Ukraine shooting down most drones but not the ballistic missiles, highlighting a Patriot interceptor shortage intensified by the broader Middle East conflict; Europe’s first Patriot production facility is due in Germany later this year, and talks continue on Ukraine producing Patriot components, though such production would take years.
