‘DAMAGED,’ NOT DESTROYED: One of the two Patriot air defense systems provided by the United States, Germany, and the Netherlands to Ukraine apparently sustained some damage during yesterday’s Russian missile assault, but the extent of the damage is unclear.

Ukraine claimed it successfully intercepted 18 of 18 Russian missiles that were fired from the air, land, and sea in what appeared to be an attempt to overwhelm Ukraine’s robust air defenses surrounding Kyiv and take out a marquee Patriot battery to score a propaganda coup.
