"Russia's Tactics and Ukraine's Air Defense Strain Amid Accidental Bombings"

TL;DR Summary
Russia is reportedly targeting Ukraine's limited stock of Patriot missiles with missile strikes, aiming to deplete their defenses. Experts suggest this strategy coincides with the U.S. Congress's hesitation to approve further aid, potentially limiting Ukraine's ability to replenish these crucial air defense systems. Despite the destruction caused by Russian attacks, the effectiveness of the Patriot batteries has been acknowledged, with calls from Ukrainian officials for more systems to counter the ongoing assaults. The situation is exacerbated by political disagreements in the U.S. over funding, which may affect the support Ukraine receives.
