Zelensky: Patriot Stocks Nearly Exhausted, Offers 30-Day Oil Strike Pause for US Interceptors

Ukraine's air defense is critically depleted, with Zelensky stating that almost no Patriot interceptors remain. In a direct quid pro quo, he has offered a 30-day halt on strikes against Russian refineries in exchange for US-supplied interceptors, signaling a shift in Ukraine's targeting strategy and a potential de-escalation in energy infrastructure attacks. The offer's acceptance is uncertain, and the actual stockpile levels are unverified.
