US delays Ukraine Patriot deal as drone strikes hit Russian warehouses and Trump warns Iran

The United States is unlikely to finalize a long-term agreement with Ukraine to jointly manufacture Patriot missile interceptors before this winter, according to US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker. Despite the delay, Washington continues collaborating with Kyiv and European allies on air defense equipment.

Simultaneously, Ukrainian drone strikes targeted facilities belonging to e-commerce retailer Wildberries across the Moscow, Tver, and Saint Petersburg regions. Moscow Governor Andrey Vorobyov reported at least five people died and ten sustained injuries in an attack near the capital.

In Washington, US President Donald Trump stated that negotiations with Tehran represent Iran's "last chance" to secure a deal. Trump cautioned that while talks are progressing rapidly, American forces remain prepared for potential military action.
