  "account": "Ukraine has exhausted its supply of US-made Patriot interceptor missiles, according to a source close to the situation. This shortage has emerged amid escalating tensions between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The US President's recent decision to waive sanctions on Russia and reduce tariffs on its goods has alarmed Zelensky, who believes it may embolden Moscow to continue its attacks on Ukraine. Zelensky further stated that the decision to lift these sanctions seems unjust, as it primarily benefits Russia. On Friday, Trump signed an executive order waiving these sanctions and tariffs, claiming it was in the US national interest. However, Zelensky remains disheartened by the move. The US president has also shown an inclination towards Moscow recently, publicly questioning Zelensky's leadership. Zelensky expressed hope for a meeting between the US and Russia at the upcoming G20 summit in Miami, though neither the US nor Russia have confirmed this. The summit could potentially take place in the US or a European country, according to Zelensky. Meanwhile, Ukraine is facing challenges in using its Patriot interceptors to defend against Russian drone attacks due to limitations imposed by Starlink disruptions. Zelensky informed US officials about these issues, stating that the speed restrictions on Starlink are due to technical problems. Interestingly, the Ukrainian officials found no such issues when they tested Starlink on EU territory, where it operates at higher speeds.",
