> Ukraine may receive 500 U.S. missiles for Patriot air-defense systems between the fourth quarter of 2030 and the fourth quarter of 2033. The State Department approved the possible $2.1 billion sale, but the purchase agreement is expected only after Congress approves it. Ukraine says it faces Patriot shortages, and Volodymyr Zelensky has accused the U.S. of deliberately delaying interceptor missiles already paid for by NATO countries.
