A Problem Kyiv Can’t SolveThe problem is only getting worse, and this is not the first round of ballistic missile strikes from Russia.
Zelenskyy Urgently Requires PatriotsThe Patriot air defense system has become Ukraine’s most valuable protection against Russian ballistic missiles.
The Kiel Institute notes that Ukraine’s allies have allocated more than $300 billion in military, financial, and humanitarian assistance since 2022, including over $100 billion in direct support from the United States.
The issue is not that Ukraine’s allies are unwilling to help, but that Patriot interceptors are not unlimited.
In the longer term, Kyiv’s only hope may be Freyja, a Ukrainian-European low-cost ballistic missile defense project.
