Allies warned Ukraine of three ballistic waves, but not the first – Air Force

Ukrainian Air Force spokesperson Yurii Ihnat stated that allies provided advance warning for three waves of Russian ballistic missile attacks on the night of October 13-14, but not for the initial wave. This lack of timely intelligence, which also occurred on October 12, left Ukrainian air defenses with insufficient time to issue public air-raid warnings before the first strikes.
