According to the Financial Times, US president Trump has denied Zelenskyy's request for new Patriot interceptor missiles.
He cites the reason as shortages caused by the war in the Middle East.

The Ukrainian General Staff reports that Russia launched a record 8,300+ glide-bombs during July - an average of 268 per day.
If kept up at a monthly rate, Russia would be launching 100,000 glide-bombs per year.
Let's say, hypothetically, that each of these glide-bombs kills one Ukrainian soldier and injures 2 others on average, which would be the bare minimum for such large munitions. That would be an average of 804 casualties per day, or 293,000 per year - just from glide-bombs. You can see that the casualties add up very quickly.

Since July 1, Russia has launched approximately 150 Iskander-M ballistic missiles at Kyiv City and Kyiv Oblast, as a part of their new massive strike campaign on the capital.
Due to Ukraine having little to no patriot interceptors during this period, only ~7 out of 150 missiles were shot down.

For the first time ever, a Russian special forces DRG group was detected in the city of Orikhiv, Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
