Russian strike hits Odesa as Western military support faces constraints
A Russian strike on Odesa killed one person as Germany confirmed it cannot send more Patriot systems and Marine Le Pen declined an invitation to visit Kyiv.
A Russian attack on infrastructure in the Ukrainian port city of Odesa killed one person, according to local military administration chief Serhiy Lysak. Russian military officials claimed the strike targeted a container ship transporting weapons.
The attack comes amid logistical and political challenges regarding Western assistance to Ukraine. German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius announced that Berlin is currently unable to supply additional Patriot air defence systems due to depleted inventory.
Meanwhile, French National Rally leader Marine Le Pen turned down an official invitation from Ukrainian authorities to visit Kyiv. The developments highlight mounting pressure on international military aid and diplomatic engagement.
