The delivery of the Patriot air defense system promised by the U.S. was expected in Ukraine sometime after Easter, air force spokesperson Yuriy Ihnat said.
Germany and the Netherlands also have pledged to provide a Patriot system each to Ukraine. In addition, a SAMP/T anti-missile system pledged by France and Italy "should enter Ukraine in the near future," Ihnat said this week.
Separately, a 48-year-old woman and her 28-year-old daughter died Saturday after Russian forces shelled a neighborhood of the city of Kherson, the regional administration said on Telegram. The southern port city was occupied by Russian forces in the early months of the war, but Ukrainian forces regained control of it in November, one of the most notable battlefield defeats for Moscow.
According to British intelligence, a "unified registry of individuals eligible for military service" will be digitally linked to other government services, allowing Russian authorities to "punish draft-dodgers by automatically limiting employment rights and restricting foreign travel." Meanwhile, 52,000 young Russian men already have received draft orders as part of the country's regular spring call-up, and 21,000 of them qualified for military service, Col. Andrey Biryukov, who is in charge of mobilization, said Saturday.
