Ukraine war latest: Zelensky makes fresh plea for Patriots as Air Force stops publishing missile numbers
President Zelensky appealed for Patriot missile systems, suggesting that if the US sold 10% of its supply to Ukraine, Kyiv could destroy all Russian ballistic missiles. Ukraine also repatriated 261 bodies that Russia claims belong to Ukrainian soldiers. The Air Force faced backlash for deciding to stop publishing missile numbers.
Why it matters
