WorldUkraine: Missile interceptors fall to one-third of 2025 level

Ukraine remains heavily dependent on foreign support to maintain its ammunition stockpiles. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv was unable to intercept any of the Russian missiles launched on Wednesday because air-defence ammunition was in short supply. He added that deliveries of air-defence missiles fell by two-thirds in the first half of this year compared with the same period in 2025. Alexey Muraviev of Edith Cowan University offers analysis.
