Ukraine has not intercepted any of the S - 300 and S - 400 Russian missiles this year. This is nothing to do with not having enough air defence ammo, it's to do with the sheer number of the missiles and drones fired by the Russians. I vaguely remember multiple posters stating 2 years ago that Russia had run out of those.
Ukraine’s ability to intercept Russian missiles and drones has significantly declined as Russia increased its use of ballistic and hypersonic missiles. According to WSJ analysts, it overwhelmed Ukraine’s air defences. BYMARIA TRIL

WSJ analyzed the daily data from the Ukrainian Air Force Command that “in the past six months, Ukraine intercepted around 46% of Russian missiles, compared with 73% in the preceding six-month period. Last month, the interception rate fell to 30% for missiles.”
The report also highlights the difficulty in intercepting certain types of missiles, stating, “In the past six months, Ukraine has shot down just 10% of the ballistic missiles Russia has fired. It hasn’t intercepted any of the S-300 and S-400 missiles fired into Ukraine so far this year.”
