Ukraine resumes missile-interception counts after Zelensky says some Patriots arrived from ‘Coalition of the Willing’ allies
Exports of Russian and Kazakh oil through Novorossiysk plummeted in August compared with July, the Russian business daily Kommersant said, citing a review by the independent pricing agency Argus.
On August 27, 2026, Ukraine's General Staff announced interception statistics for the first time in a while, revealing that the country's air defenses had shot down one Onyx anti-ship missile and seven ballistic missiles following a Russian attack. The attack targeted various regions of Ukraine, including Kyiv, where drone debris fell and a school building in the Shevchenkivskyi district sustained significant damage.
Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that a truck driver was also injured in the Holosiivskyi district. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky had previously stated that the country had received a few Patriot missiles after recent summits, but more were needed to bolster its air defense capabilities.
