Why Zelenskyy wants to build US Patriot missiles in Ukraine after Russia’s attack

In the wake of a substantial Russian airstrike, President Zelenskyy of Ukraine is appealing to the US for permission to manufacture Patriot air defense missiles domestically. This move comes as Kyiv strives to enhance its defenses following attacks that have left 13 dead and over 90 injured. By producing Patriots locally, Ukraine aims to secure a steady supply and lessen its dependence on external aid for sustained security.
