RT skriver om Ukrainas brist på Patriotmissiler. Lite utdrag.
"Ukraine has exhausted its remaining US-made Patriot interceptor missiles used to defend against Russian strikes, CNN reported on Thursday, citing a person familiar with the matter.
The reported shortage comes amid a public feud between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky over Trump’s diesel deal with Moscow and Ukraine’s attacks on Russian oil refineries."
"Zelensky said he felt betrayed after Trump lifted sanctions on Russian diesel exports earlier this month in hopes of lowering energy prices ahead of the US midterm elections in November. Trump defended the move as beneficial to consumers and consistent with his “America First” agenda.
Asked about Zelensky’s criticism of the diesel deal, Trump suggested that it was “time for Ukraine to get a new president.” Zelensky, whose five-year presidential term expired in 2024, has refused to call new elections, citing martial law and the need for a months-long ceasefire with Russia. The Kremlin has argued that Ukraine would use a prolonged truce to replenish its armed forces and said it was only prepared to suspend strikes on election day."
"Earlier this week, Zelensky said he would defy Trump’s demands to halt strikes on Russian energy facilities, which the US president blamed for high energy prices. Zelensky said Ukraine would agree to an energy truce only if Russia did the same. Moscow, however, said it was seeking a comprehensive peace deal on its terms rather than an unconditional ceasefire, which it argued Ukraine would exploit to its advantage."
