The report noted that Kiev would have to decide which targets to defend. A possible shortage of missiles for the Patriot air defense systems is of particular concern, the report said. Western countries have been providing military aid to Kiev since the start of Russia's military operation in Ukraine in February 2022. The aid evolved from artillery munitions and training in 2022 to heavier weapons, including tanks, later that year and in 2023. The Kremlin has consistently warned against continued arms deliveries to Kiev.

Ukrainian Air Defense Will Not Be Able to Repel All Russian Attacks This Winter, Reports Say
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Ukrainian air defense will not be able to repel all Russian attacks this winter due to a shortage of interceptor missiles, The Telegraph newspaper reported on Monday, citing defense experts.
The report noted that
Kiev would have to decide which targets to defend. A possible shortage of missiles for the Patriot air defense systems is of particular concern, the report said.
"There will be some systems where they will have to ration their ammunition even more than they are at the moment… It could be a case that they have to just not engage some targets, because they don’t have enough interceptors to go around," Jimmy Rushton, a Kiev-based defense analyst, was quoted as saying by the newspaper.
Western countries have been providing military aid to Kiev since the start of
Russia's military operation in Ukraine in February 2022. The aid evolved from artillery munitions and training in 2022 to heavier weapons, including tanks, later that year and in 2023. The Kremlin has consistently warned against continued arms deliveries to Kiev.
