# Ukraine seeks Patriot missiles from allies after US snub 2026-08-07T15:21:53+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Ukraine is turning to other allies for Patriot air-defense missiles after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's White House visit this week failed to secure new supplies, Kyiv's ambassador to Washington said. Ambassador Olha Stefanishyna said the meeting with President Donald Trump did not produce a "hard commitment because of the, you know, overall shortages." Ukraine hopes to borrow missiles from allies' stockpiles ahead of winter and replace them later. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Poland will consider offering more Patriots, after a Russian missile crashed in eastern Poland. At least six people were killed in a Russian overnight barrage of 74 missiles and 284 drones. Ukraine relies on the US-made Patriot system to intercept ballistic missiles. The Pentagon announced $59 billion to increase Patriot production, but that will take years. ## Coverage - livemint.com Tags: air defence, NATO, Patriot missiles, Ukraine war, US aid, Zelenskyy Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/ukraine-seeks-patriot-missiles-from-allies-after-us-snub/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
