Ukraine war latest: Zelensky makes fresh plea for Patriots as Air Force stops publishing missile numbers

President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed on Aug. 12 that Ukraine could destroy all Russian ballistic missiles if the United States were to sell Kyiv 10% of its Patriot interceptor missile stockpile.

"This year I’m asking American partners to sell me 5% of missiles, what they have in their stocks," said Zelensky in an interview with CNN.

Meanwhile, Ukraine's Air Force said it will cease publishing the exact number of Russian ballistic missiles launched and shot down in its daily morning updates, citing security concerns.
