> The US approved a $2.1bn sale of 500 PAC-3 interceptors to Ukraine, with European allies and Canada covering the cost. President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine had waited nearly a month for approval of critical missile supplies. The order is understood to be for newly built missiles, so delivery is unlikely to be rapid.
