Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged European allies to send their Patriot missile systems to Ukraine while awaiting replacements, as the country seeks to bolster its defense against ongoing Russian attacks. Amidst a recent wave of strikes on energy infrastructure, Ukraine is enduring power outages and is actively pursuing additional military support, including a potential purchase of 25 Patriot systems. Concurrently, Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau is investigating corruption in the energy sector, linked to a former business partner of Zelenskyy. These developments occur as diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict remain stalled.
