Air defenseless in Kiev.After a few ‘glorious’ weeks when the MSM tried to convince us that NOW Ukraine had ‘turned the tables’ on the war, everything is back to the usual (and dreadful) routine.But worse – because now the situation with the air defense capabilities has reached a major crisis level.On Wednesday (5), Ukraine failed to intercept even a single Russian missile during the overnight strikes around Kiev that left at least 17 people dead.Russia’s overnight attack on Ukraine was so intense that Ukraine did not fire a single interceptor missile.Every Russian missile hit its intended target.Ukraine has run out of US-supplied interceptor missiles.Iran has depleted US air defence missile stockpiles, leaving… pic.twitter.com/6MAldBZzDe— Current Report (@Currentreport1) August 5, 2026The Telegraph reported:“Moscow’s forces launched 115 drones and 28 hypersonic and ballistic missiles at seven areas of the Ukrainian capital on Wednesday in one of the deadliest attacks on the city this year. At least 44 people were injured.Russia carried out the attack – the third such mass bombardment in a week – as Ukraine grappled with a perilous shortage of missile interceptors.‘Ballistic missile interceptors could have saved the lives of those killed today’, said Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president. ‘It is very important that our partners understand that delays in supplying them, or an unwillingness to provide anti-ballistic systems, lead directly to such horrific casualties and destruction’.”Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv.At least 20 Iskander-M/S-400 ballistic missiles, 5 Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles, and 2 Kn-23 ballistic missiles were launched from Bryansk, Kursk, Voronezh, and Rostov Oblasts.Every single missile impacted. Not a single Patriot… pic.twitter.com/vXUKsehk4s— AMK Mapping (@AMK_Mapping_) August 5, 2026Zelensky complained that the number of air-defense missiles supplied by his Western allies has shrunk to a third of 2025.Associated Press reported:“When Russia fires a ballistic missile at Ukraine, air-defense systems have only minutes — sometimes seconds — to detect and intercept the deadly threat.The lack of time has left Kyiv and other cities increasingly exposed to devastating attacks by the missiles that come down so fast and so steeply that Ukraine says only the U.S.-made Patriot defense system can stop them. But Ukraine says it has too few batteries and interceptors to protect itself.Unlike cruise missiles, which behave like pilotless planes, ballistic missiles are launched like rockets and then dive steeply toward their targets at several times the speed of sound. That sharply reduces the time available to find and destroy a warhead.” Trump has REJECTED Zelensky’s appeal for hundreds of additional Patriot interceptors.He cited a shortage in U.S. stocks, saying they were needed in the Middle East instead.Zelensky says the number of air defense missiles supplied “has dropped threefold compared with… pic.twitter.com/PDwzYaXIsA— Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal) August 5, 2026Also, several outlets (including Ukrainian ones) have reported that Donald J. Trump denied Zelensky’s latest demand for air-defense missiles.RBC Ukraine reported:“US President Donald Trump refused to provide Ukraine with interceptor missiles for the Patriot systems even after a personal request from Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy, according to the Financial Times.According to sources, Trump rejected Zelenskyy’s request during a meeting in the Oval Office on July 28. The Ukrainian President asked his American counterpart to provide several hundred more interceptor missiles for the Patriot systems.Trump immediately made it clear that he would not do so. According to anonymous sources, Trump explained his refusal to Zelenskyy by citing a shortage of stockpiles in the US.”Read more:WATCH: Terrifying Footage Shows Ukrainian Drone Striking Black Sea Beach Resort – 7 Dead, Including 3 Children, and 10 Injured/*!
