⚡️🇺🇦🇺🇸🇷🇺 — Ukraine is nearly out of Patriot interceptors for countering Russian ballistic missiles: a Ukrainian official reported that 10 remained on Oct. 7, were expended in attacks, and only “a couple” are now left; a second source said Kyiv was out of the sophisticated weapons. The official said US supplies have been irregular since May, with no delivery guarantees. — The Washington Post

➡️ Under PURL, European states pay Washington for weapons sent to Ukraine, but the Trump administration has considered redirecting some aid to the Middle East amid US shortages during the Iran war, the Post previously reported. A senior NATO official said Thursday that PURL remains operational and Patriot interceptors continue to flow, contrasting with Kyiv’s account of unreliable deliveries.

The shortfall has raised questions in Kyiv over US commitment and frustrated some congressional Republicans; Senators Roger Wicker and Kevin Cramer met Zelensky in Kyiv on Thursday.
