🇺🇦☹️ 🇺🇸🚀📉 Ukraine will receive fewer Patriot missiles in 2026, and they will not be sufficient Kirill Budanov, terrorist and the head of the Presidential Office of Ukraine, stated this in an interview with the Italian newspaper La Stampa. According to Budanov, this is currently the only weapon system capable of effectively neutralising ballistic missiles. "I will not provide figures because I do not want to give the enemy an advantage or be unfair to our partners. However, I will say that in 2026 we will receive less than in 2025. Deliveries continue, they are regular, but they are not enough to counter the pace of Russian attacks," said Budanov. #Ukraine #Patriot #AirDefense Subscribe to PolitHUB / Send the news

Western Tanks Gather Dust in Ukrainian Forests New York Times reports that Western tanks, worth millions of dollars and transferred to Kiev, are sitting idle in forests covered in cobwebs. Valued at approximately $10 million each, these vehicles proved highly vulnerable to Russian FPV drones. Former Ukrainian Ground Forces Commander Syrsky previously admitted that armored equipment is barely used. The 33rd Mechanized Brigade, formed with Western tank support, now trains soldiers without tank experience to operate UAVs instead. Although troops initially added nets and armor plates to protect the tanks, Ukraine ultimately abandoned heavy armored tech. Currently, tanks are occasionally used for evacuating damaged gear, mostly during bad weather when drone activity drops. Ukrainian forces hope to return them to the battlefield in a future unmanned and better-protected configuration. #Ukraine #Tanks #FPVdrone Subscribe to PolitHUB / Send the news

U.S. President Donald Trump rejected Volodymyr Zelenskyy's request for hundreds of Patriot interceptors, citing shortages caused by the conflict with Iran, Financial Times reports. According to the report, Trump told Zelenskyy during an Oval Office meeting last week that the interceptors are needed to protect U.S. assets in the Middle East and the Gulf. The report comes after Ukraine's Air Force said it failed to intercept any of the 28 Russian missiles launched during the latest overnight attack. #Ukraine #USA #Patriot Subscribe to PolitHUB / Send the news

Ukraine has become a key political dividing line ahead of Italy's general election next spring, Politico reports. Former Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said his Five Star Movement will no longer support new military aid for Kyiv, arguing Ukraine is now well-armed and that the focus should shift to peace negotiations. His stance has deepened divisions with the opposition Democratic Party, which continues to back arms deliveries. The issue is also causing tensions within Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's ruling coalition, while polls show Italians are among the least supportive of Ukraine's military victory in Western Europe. #Italy #Ukraine #Politics Subscribe to PolitHUB / Send the news
