Germany's aid
Earlier, RBC-Ukraine wrote that Germany had provided Ukraine with means to strengthen its air defense. These are Iris-T and Patriot air defense systems.
According to German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, Berlin is going to provide Ukraine with additional missiles for the Iris-T systems in the near future.
However, German media reported that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was blocking a new aid package for Ukraine before the Bundestag elections.
