  "account": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on August 8 that his country has reached an agreement with the United States on a monthly supply of interceptor missiles for its Patriot air defense system. However, Zelensky emphasized that the quantity provided remains inadequate to fully address Ukraine's defense requirements. Speaking via a teleconference, the Ukrainian leader stated that Washington would continue to deliver these interceptor missiles on a monthly basis, despite the reduced volume compared to previous years. In 2026, the number of missiles Ukraine will receive is expected to be lower than in 2025, though the precise figures were not disclosed. Earlier, Zelensky had reported at a press conference in Kiev alongside NATO officials that the actual deliveries of missile interceptors from allies had diminished, primarily due to ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.",
  "summary": "Zelensky noted that the number of interceptor missiles Ukraine is expected to receive in 2026 would be lower than in 2025, without disclosing specific figures.",
