Zelensky’s Letter to Trump Reveals Critical Missile Defense Shortages
As Russia intensifies aerial assaults and threatens further long-range strikes, President Volodymyr Zelensky has appealed to U.S. President Donald Trump, detailing Ukraine’s critical shortage of air defense systems, particularly for ballistic missiles. The letter highlights Ukraine’s reliance on the United States for this vital defense capability and expresses concern that existing Western-provided systems may be insufficient against escalating bombardments. Ukraine’s ambassador to the U.S. is distributing this appeal to key figures in the White House and Congress, underscoring the urgency of securing additional Patriot missiles and other protective systems to defend against Russian missile attacks.
