The United States has blocked the transfer of Patriot missile interceptors to Ukraine amid deteriorating relations between Trump and Zelensky, according to The Washington Post. According to the publication, several of Kiev's allies are ready to provide Ukraine with the missiles, but the Pentagon has not yet given the necessary permission. "The transfer of at least some of the Patriot missile interceptors from countries friendly to Ukraine requires the approval of U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. The United States maintains control because this weapon is manufactured in the U.S. and supplied abroad under an agreement that requires U.S. consent for its transfer to other countries. According to officials, Hegseth has not formally rejected the requests for delivery, but he has also not taken the necessary steps to approve them." The author of the article notes that the stockpiles of Patriot missiles in Ukraine are almost depleted. As an Ukrainian official reported, last week, the Ukrainian Armed Forces had only a few interceptors left. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel
