Zelenskyy advisor tells BI what he's worried about after Trump cut Ukraine aid: 'critical' US-made Patriots
Briefly

President Donald Trump's suspension of military aid to Ukraine has raised alarms, particularly regarding the vital US-made Patriot missile defense systems. Mykhailo Podolyak, an advisor to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, emphasized the importance of missile defense amid ongoing Russian missile strikes against civilians and key infrastructure. The Ukrainian government now faces uncertainty regarding which areas of US support will be impacted, while seeking alternative options for defense. Podolyak reiterated the pressing need for tools to combat the persistent threats posed by Russian military actions.
For us, the most critical positions are, undoubtedly, everything related to missile defense systems, particularly the Patriot systems. The largest production of these is in the United States.
Russia is not stopping its attacks; it continues missile strikes on civilians and critical infrastructure. Russia is not stopping and will not stop.
Therefore, we will continue to look for ways to counter Russian strikes - both across the entire territory of Ukraine and along the front line.
We will search for available tools on the global market and use them to destroy Russia's capabilities.
