Intelligence has reported that Russia is preparing a massive strike on Ukraine's energy infrastructure and logistics. Zelenskyy said there would be a response.
Zelenskyy said that Ukraine cannot fail to respond to Russian strikes on energy infrastructure. He asked for Patriot for one month.
The delivery of 500 PAC-3 MSE missiles could take years due to the 24-month production timeline. For the winter, European stocks and Japan are being considered.
Russian strikes damaged the energy infrastructure of four regions of Ukraine. The President said that hundreds of thousands of families are without electricity.
Fire Point systems are designed to complete missions without satellite communications.
Zelenskyy is asking the United States to provide 500 PAC-3 interceptors as early as the winter of 2026–2027. Providing them to Ukraine right now is the right course of action.
The U. S. State Department has approved the possible sale of 500 PAC-3 missiles for Patriot systems to Ukraine. The $2.1 billion deal will be financed by partners and allies.
The United States continues to supply Ukraine with Patriot missiles and weapons paid for by European allies. New talks on the war will take place in the UAE.
NATO allies fear that the United States will postpone transferring Patriot missiles to Ukraine until the November 3 midterm elections. Kyiv is awaiting Hegseth’s signature.
U. S. spending on the war with Iran has reached $47.1 billion, with more than 60% going toward munitions. The Pentagon is requesting up to another $70 billion.
The US is strengthening its defenses and preparing aircraft for possible strikes on Iran after the election. Trump has not yet made a final decision.
Zelenskyy reported the liberation of more than 800 sq. km by the Air Assault Forces and another more than 200 sq. km during Operation "Vivaldi".
Poland has beaten Germany, the Netherlands, and Norway in the competition to host a PAC-3 missile maintenance center for Patriot systems. The facility will be established following months of negotiations with the United States.
Zelenskyy reported that Russia attacked Ukraine with 16 missiles and more than 280 drones. There are hits, and 12 people injured in the strike on a university campus in Kyiv.
The Defense Minister called on Germany, Britain, France, Poland and Italy to transfer 10% of their stocks of interceptor missiles. Ukraine is also asking for man-portable air-defense systems and funding for the joint production of drones.
Ukraine is awaiting Pete Hegseth's signature on the delivery of missiles for Patriot and NASAMS systems. Kyiv is also negotiating with Europe and other partners for interceptors.
Zelenskyy said that Ukraine had received 24 missiles over the past 90 days.
Ukraine asks partners to transfer Patriot interceptors from available stocks in exchange for future deliveries. IRIS-T, MANPADS, and Gripen were also discussed.
NATO fears a complete halt to U. S. arms deliveries to Ukraine due to tensions between Zelenskyy and Trump. Patriot deliveries are already being delayed.
Zelenskyy announced the restoration of U. S. intelligence sharing and discussions on security guarantees and a trilateral meeting. Russia rejected the energy truce.
Zelenskyy said that Starlink would be restored in Ukraine within two days. The United States and Ukraine have also resumed exchanging intelligence.
Marco Rubio told Zelenskyy that the US had not restricted intelligence, weapons, or Starshield for Ukraine. He explained the delay in Patriot systems by the Pentagon's needs.
Zelenskyy told senators about U. S. restrictions on intelligence and weapons. He also proposed a 30-day ceasefire regarding oil refineries in exchange for Patriot systems.
Ukraine did not receive early warning of the first wave of Russia's ballistic attack. The US also did not explain the restrictions on Starlink and Starshield.
Zelenskyy discussed increasing the supply of missiles for Patriot systems with Lockheed Martin. The repair and maintenance of F-16s in Ukraine were also discussed.
The US is currently providing Ukraine with 12 Patriot missiles per month—four times fewer than under Biden. Kyiv proposed a deal to Washington: Ukraine does not strike Russian diesel fuel, and the US provides Patriot missiles.
The President said that air defense forces are shooting down 55–60% of jet-powered Shaheds. Ukraine is receiving ammunition for F-16s and is preparing new air defense systems.
The president said that Ukraine had not been warned about the suspension of the sanctions. Due to Starlink's technical restrictions, the state is losing drones and communications.
The president stated that in Ukraine Starlink shuts down above 161 km/h, while in the EU it operates at over 180 km/h. He called this a planned restriction.
Zelenskyy allegedly agreed to a 100-day pause in strikes on Russia’s energy infrastructure in exchange for Starlink expansion. He is also considering Patriot missiles.
