Poland says it has run out of Patriot missiles to give Ukraine

In an interview with the Polish Press Agency, Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski said Poland no longer has Patriot missiles available for Ukraine, a deficit that deepened after the recent Iranian attacks and the rise in Russian missile output. He suggested that other NATO allies could still supply the needed systems, but gave no specifics. The statement comes as Kyiv struggles to defend against renewed Russian ballistic missile barrages while its interceptor supplies run low.

President Volodymyr Zelensky recently highlighted Polish ammunition support for Kyiv’s air defenses and hinted at additional confidential assistance. He also reported that Washington has approved only part of the missile purchases listed in the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List, delivering about 12 Patriot interceptors per month, roughly a quarter of the previous rate under the former U.S. administration.
