Ukraine Prayer # 532

Ira Kapitonova
The Lord is the strength of his people;
he is the saving refuge of his anointed.
Psalm 28:8
I read an interview with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba. Recently, he's been on a mission to get more air defense for Ukraine. The Patriot systems are the priority as they are the only ones capable of intercepting the deadliest ballistic missiles. Ukraine needs 26 batteries to create a total air shield over Ukraine, yet even seven systems would help protect the largest and most targeted cities. Kuleba said they have identified more than 100 available Patriots (some neighboring countries have more than one battery guarding a port or airfield), but they are faced with the reluctance to provide them.
 
Of course, why should someone bother to provide aid to Ukraine, especially since so much has already been provided? It's a legitimate question in a world run by interests and gains. However, I would like to believe in miracles and see room for values. Because each day of the delay comes at the cost of human lives. Today, during the strike on the Odesa region, 14 people were injured and 4 killed, including a 10-year-old girl. During the strike on the Kharkiv region, two women and a 14-year-old girl were killed. That’s not the complete statistics and definitely doesn't include military losses. I just wonder if those who bargain and delay the provision of military aid understand the severity of the situation.
Do not drag me off with the wicked,
with the workers of evil,
who speak peace with their neighbors while evil is in their hearts.
Give to them according to their work and according to the evil of their deeds;
give to them according to the work of their hands;
render them their due reward.
Psalm 28:3-4

Pray fof the release of defense systems.
