> Ukraine has exhausted missiles for its U.S.-made Patriot air defense systems, CNN reported, citing a source familiar with the situation. Ukrainian forces intercepted almost none of the ballistic missiles fired overnight into October 14; Russian missiles struck three power plants in Kyiv and energy infrastructure in Kharkiv. Volodymyr Zelensky suggested he might soften his stance on resuming strikes on Russian oil refineries in exchange for more Patriot missiles.
