Zelenskiy says Ukraine has zero Patriot missiles left after Russian strikes killed 10 in Kyiv. Moscow restaurant bomb kills 3. NATO allies face pressure to accelerate air defense deliveries.
Russia struck Kyiv with cruise missiles and Iranian-made Shahed drones early Sunday, killing 10 people. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Ukraine has exhausted its supply of Patriot interceptor missiles. The capital cannot hold off sustained barrages without them, he said in a televised address.
Ukrainian air force officials said some of the incoming weapons were shot down. The remainder hit residential buildings, leaving 10 dead. The attack came as Zelenskiy renewed a plea for NATO allies to speed delivery of air defense systems and munitions.
The United States has supplied several Patriot batteries since 2023. Deliveries slowed as Congress debated further aid packages. European allies have pledged additional systems, though few have arrived, Zelenskiy said.
A separate bomb blast outside a restaurant in Moscow's Krylatskoye district killed three people around 8 p.m. local time. At least 21 were wounded, some critically, Russia's Investigative Committee said. Officials are investigating the explosion as a terrorist attack. No group claimed responsibility.
The Moscow attack came hours after the Kyiv strikes. Officials did not link the two events.
The depletion of Patriot interceptors sharpens the risk to Ukrainian cities as winter approaches. RTX Corp. and Lockheed Martin Corp. produce the Patriot system. NATO countries have ordered additional units in recent months, though delivery timelines remain unclear. Zelenskiy said every strike that gets through is a life Ukraine cannot protect without more air defense.
