Zelensky Urges US to End Month-Long Patriot Missile Delay as Russian Strikes Kill Civilians

Russian ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv on Monday evening and overnight (October 26-27) killed a 46-year-old woman and injured 15 others, damaging a university campus, student dormitories, and critical infrastructure. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged the US to approve urgently needed Patriot interceptor deliveries, warning that shortages leave civilians vulnerable. Russia has launched over 100 ballistic missiles against Kyiv and the surrounding region since October 14.
