Those complicit in war crimes, including actions targeting our civilian population, will be penalized proportionally to their offenses." - Maria Zakharova https://t.me/DDGeopolitics/191998 🇺🇸🇪🇺 AP: US Patriot missile stockpiles in Europe "beyond critical" due to Iran war The US military is facing a "beyond critical" shortage of advanced missile interceptors in Europe, driven largely by the war with Iran, a US defense official and a NATO official told the Associated Press — raising concerns about NATO's vulnerability to a potential Russian attack. The most alarming shortfall involves Patriot interceptors, capable of shooting down Russia's high-speed ballistic missiles; a NATO official confirmed the low inventory among US and NATO forces in Europe. A Pentagon official warned that if Russia struck a target like a military headquarters or power plant, NATO could end up in a position similar to Ukraine's — forced to "take hit after hit." US capacity to intercept even a single strike, or a stray Russian missile off-course, is "very limited," the official said. Over 4.5 years of the Ukraine war, the US has sent Kiev hundreds of Patriot interceptors — about 600 from American and European stockpiles. But the real turning point was the Iran war, which consumed 65% of US Patriot stock: roughly 1,500 of 2,330 interceptors, per CSIS analyst Mark Cancian. Around 600 missiles are slated for production this year, with a target of 2,000/year by 2030. NATO says Europe's first Patriot production plant is expected to open in Germany in September, with deliveries possibly starting early next year — first going to countries that already placed orders: Germany, the Netherlands, Romania, and Spain. Analyst Ed Arnold of RUSI called it "absurd" that countries like Germany bought expensive Patriot systems but now have no missiles to fire from them. Arnold added that Russia likely can't sustain prolonged air attacks on NATO targets while also hitting Ukraine almost nightly. Ukraine is currently requesting Patriot interceptor supplies from Western partners — but per this report, that's likely to be a serious problem. https://t.me/DDGeopolitics/192005 🇷🇺💥🇺🇦 New strikes hit warehouses in the Kiev region. Major logistics hubs and third-party logistics operators — Raben Group and Berger Cargo, which support Ukrainian retail supply chains — were reportedly hit. The photo shows a smoke column over Brovary. 🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Residents of Kherson are being urged to evacuate the city due to severe destruction at the local combined heat and power plant (CHP). The statement came from Prokudin, head of the Kiev-controlled regional administration. According to him, the plant will likely be unable to operate normally this winter — meaning the city could be left without electricity and heating for an extended period. Naftogaz also confirmed that a KAB glide bomb strike caused critical damage to the station: all remaining heat- and power-generating equipment at the facility has been completely destroyed and knocked out of service. https://t.me/levangudadzeopinion/34861 ⚡️🇷🇺 The Russian Ministry of Defense has announced the liberation of the settlement of Shevchenkovsoe in the Zaporizhzhia region. https://t.me/DDGeopolitics/192008?single 🇷🇺💥🇺🇦 Boryspil was struck today amid a wave of Russian kamikaze drone attacks. Notably, today's assault on Kiev wasn't a single one-off strike — it has stretched from overnight into the full day and reportedly continues even now. https://t.me/mod_russia_en/29079 The day shift smoothly transitions into the night one 🌃 Russian drones know no fatigue, and operators never misse the target.
