According to Marko Mihkelson, Ukraine is entering a challenging winter period marked by escalating Russian air attacks. These intensified attacks are coinciding with a critical shortage of Patriot interceptor missiles, significantly hindering Ukraine’s ability to defend its civilian infrastructure. The situation suggests Russia currently holds a clear advantage in the air, posing a growing threat to Ukrainian cities and towns. This imbalance in aerial capabilities leaves Ukraine increasingly vulnerable as the colder months approach. The lack of sufficient missile defense systems raises concerns about the potential for widespread damage and civilian casualties. Mihkelson shared these insights during an interview with ERR, highlighting the urgency of the situation.
