Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba and UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron discussed the search for additional Patriot air defense systems for Ukraine, says Kuleba on his X.
"Following up on our discussions at NATO HQ last week, we coordinated next steps to find and deliver additional air defense systems, first and foremost Patriots, to Ukraine," says Kuleba.
He also thanked Cameron for his support of Ukraine and Britain's position aimed at achieving results.
Patriot air defense systems for Ukraine
At the end of February, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the transfer of ten Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine would have a dramatic impact on the situation in the war with Russia. Later, he said that Ukraine should receive 25 Patriot systems with 6-8 batteries each to be able to close its skies from Russian missile attacks.
On April 4, at a meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Council, Kuleba said that Germany would initiate an immediate search for all Patriot batteries and other air defense systems available not only among allies but also in the world to transfer them to Ukraine.
The Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs also noted that the main message during the meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Council at the level of foreign ministers in Brussels would be providing Patriot air defense systems to Kyiv.
