00:00Ukraine is racing against time and missiles.
00:02President Zelensky just made a bold ask to the U.S.,
00:05and it could decide the fate of this winter's war.
00:08Ukraine wants to buy 25 Patriot air defense systems from the United States.
00:13That's a massive order, and it could take years to fulfill.
00:16But Zelensky says time is a luxury Ukraine doesn't have.
00:20Russian drone and missile attacks are hammering the power grid,
00:23plunging cities into blackout.
00:25With winter creeping in, millions are at risk of losing heat and water.
00:30Zelensky is urging European allies to lend their existing Patriots now,
00:34with a promise to return them once Ukraine's new systems arrive.
00:39Germany has already delivered more Patriots than any other country
00:42and continues to send support.
00:44But even with help, Ukraine's air defenses are stretched thin across its vast territory.
00:50Russia's new strategy targets local power hubs,
00:53making each attack harder to defend.
00:55Zelensky warns, Ukraine's skies are vulnerable, and Putin knows it.
01:00The question now is, will the world respond before it's too late?
