According to reports, on Tuesday morning Ukraine repelled a russian offensive with newly boosted air defence, the american patriot air defence missile. Reportedly, Kyiv was the main target. According to a report, air defence forces shot down all 8 russian missiles including hypersonic missiles, said to be ten times faster than the speed of light, and nine drones.
Reportedly, the latest russian attack came as the president of Ukraine completed a tour of western europe to advocate for more air defence and fighter jets. According to reports, only $6 billion of the original $48 billion u.s. aid package approved in December remains. Reportedly, the u.s. who currently have two iron dome batteries would need Israel’s permission to send an iron dome system to Ukraine. According to a report, Israel have been reluctant to provide Ukraine with weapons and have been criticised by Kyiv for sending diplomats to Moscow.
