Podolyak said whether Ukraine still has missiles for Patriot and Iris-T

Podolyak said that the missiles for Patriot and Iris-T have not yet run out, but they are already in critical shortage.

Advisor to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Mykhailo Podolyak, spoke about the situation in Ukraine with missiles to the Western ADS. As he said in a comment to The Guardian , although Kyiv has not yet run out of American Patriot air defense missiles and German Iris-T missiles, Ukraine is experiencing a shortage of critical ammunition. “They are definitely in short supply,” he said.

Podolyak said Russia is using a new tactic to attack power plants using “up to 10 or 12 missiles at a time,” bypassing Patriot missile shields and other missile defense systems.

“The system is overloaded,” Podolyak said in an interview. “Now we need to understand whether we can maintain the system, whether we need additional air defense systems, especially against ultrasonic ballistic missiles, and whether we can restore the destroyed facilities.”

Podolyak stressed that the West needs to understand that Russia is “waging war against civilians” and complained about the lack of condemnation from the international community. "The Russians have completely destroyed one of the largest thermal power plants in Europe. But we don’t see any UN Security Council resolutions or any other similar statements," he said.
