Russia strikes Kyiv, 5 dead; Trump authorizes Ukraine Patriot missile production

Russian attacks on Kyiv killed five, continuing an established pattern of strikes on Ukrainian cities. In a notable policy shift, Trump authorized Ukraine to produce Patriot interceptor missiles domestically, though Kiev will still rely on US and European supplies. This marks a first in allowing local production of a US-made air defense system, potentially easing supply constraints but with uncertain timeline and scale.
