UKRAINE RUNS OUT OF PATRIOT MISSILES AS DONALD TRUMP EASES SANCTIONS ON RUSSIA

Ukraine exhausting Patriot missiles while Trump eases Russia sanctions signals shifting geopolitical risk.

What happened: Ukraine has run out of missiles for the US-made Patriot air defense system, a source told CNN. Trump signed an executive order waiving key Russia-related sanctions and tariffs that were set to take effect under the Graham Act. Key numbers: The Graham Act waiver came days before sanctions and tariffs were to take effect next week. Why it matters: Zelensky said the waiver will embolden Moscow to keep attacking Ukraine and predicted more US sanctions relief. He also said Starlink speed limits prevent Ukraine from using interceptors against Russian drone attacks. Coverage: 6 outlets in 24h
