       ****CNN reports that as a result of a powerful night attack in Kyiv, one component of the Patriot air defense system may have been damaged. Ukraine currently has two Patriot systems. One was donated by the USA, the other by Germany and the Netherlands. It is not known which of these systems was damaged, but disabling one of them, even for a short time, could affect Ukraine's ability to defend Kyiv amid increased Russian missile attacks.
