Ukraine launches fundraising for counter-drone systems against Shaheds

Bottom line

Polish FM Sikorski confirms Poland has no Patriot interceptors left to give Ukraine, citing depletion from Iran attacks and slow production, urging NATO allies with stockpiles to share.

Why it matters

The shortage of Patriot interceptors exacerbates Ukraine's vulnerability to Russian drone and missile strikes, increasing reliance on alternative counter-drone systems and highlighting the need for broader NATO support.

He cited high demand following Iranian attacks and slow production rates as reasons for the depletion. Sikorski urged NATO allies with surplus stockpiles to share interceptors, highlighting the critical shortage of air defense assets for Ukraine.
