Bild journalist Julian Röpcke said that Ukraine has allegedly exhausted its stocks of missiles for the Iris-T and Patriot air defense systems, which are needed to repel Russian attacks

He wrote about this on the social network X.

"Ukraine ran out of Patriot and Iris-T missiles. ALso, most other stocks of air defence means are depleted or destroyed," the foreign journalist said.

He also noted that Western countries allegedly have hundreds of systems and thousands of missiles needed by Ukraine in their warehouses.

Later, Röpcke clarified that an informed source had told him the number of missiles for the Patriot systems two weeks ago.

"To clarify, I would rather not say that Ukraine has zero Patriot PAC - 2 and Pac-3 missiles… I won’t reveal it, of course. But this number was so small, it must be close to nothing now," he wrote.
