On Wednesday night, Russia launched its third strike in Kiev in a week using drones and ballistic missiles, Reuters reports.

Due to the acute shortage of missiles for the American Patriot systems used by the Ukrainian air defense, all Russian ballistic missiles have reached their targets.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the targets for the strikes were the Samsung-Ukraine company, where components for the FP-5 Flamingo missiles were manufactured and stored, as well as a workshop for assembling long- and medium-range UAVs.

KRISTALL OF GROWTH had previously reported that Russia was planning systematic attacks on Kiev and was calling on foreign diplomats to leave the Ukrainian capital, and had also quoted NATO Chief Mark Rutte as saying that the alliance countries did not have the Patriot missiles Ukraine needed.
