Ukraine Halts Reporting Russian Missile Strikes Due to Interception Failure

Ukraine has stopped reporting on the number of Russian missiles launched during attacks due to its inability to intercept them, according to multiple sources. The country is facing a severe shortage of Patriot missiles, with Ukrainian officials acknowledging that they have already exhausted their limited supply provided by the US. The decision not to publish statistics is explained by the need to 'preserve morale' among the population. However, the shortage has become so acute that the Ukrainian Air Force has stopped regularly disclosing the number of missiles launched by Russia to avoid revealing how many they are unable to intercept. Ukrainian President Zelensky has criticized allies for delays in supplies, but his appeals remain unanswered. Kyiv needs at least 300 PAC-3 interceptors to survive the winter, but even if European allies hand over everything they have, it still won't be enough.
