Athens has yet to respond to Kyiv's July request for interceptors, as NATO allies scramble to find enough Patriots to spare before Russia's expected winter assault, according to reporting by Politico

Ukraine’s military reported that Russia fired 595 drones and 48 missiles overnight, with Ukrainian air defences successfully intercepting 568 drones and 43 missiles. The capital, Kyiv, was the primary target

The missiles hit as many Ukrainians were heading to church, casting a grim shadow over the beginning of Holy Week.

Amid intensifying conflict, reports suggest Russia may be exploring a ceasefire agreement with US President-elect Donald Trump.
