Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned that heavy US missile use in the escalating conflict with Iran could reduce the number of air-defence missiles available for Ukraine. He said the United States is deploying significant missile resources in the Middle East to counter Iranian threats, which may affect military aid supplies to Kyiv. Zelenskyy cautioned that Ukraine already faces shortages of key air-defence systems while defending against Russian attacks. He stressed that if US stockpiles are diverted toward the Iran conflict, Ukraine’s ability to protect its cities and infrastructure from Russian missile and drone strikes could weaken. (PC: BBC)
