Zelensky says Russia ""deliberately chose to escalate""

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is urging European partners for crucial air defense supplies, particularly interceptor missiles for Patriot systems, as Ukraine faces a severe shortage that left many Russian ballistic missiles unintercepted during a recent attack on Kyiv. This comes as the U.S. has reportedly reduced early warning intelligence sharing, and amid broader global demand for these scarce interceptors. Zelensky's visit to Brussels highlights Ukraine's urgent need for military aid, while discussions also touch upon ammunition for F-16s and European air defense projects, as Ukraine continues to face significant Russian aerial assaults.
