Patriots for Ukraine
It should be noted that earlier, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine needed 25 Patriot air defense systems to protect its entire territory from Russian missiles and drones, but the urgent need is for seven such systems.
Germany has agreed to provide several Patriot systems.
Romania has also announced its decision to transfer its Patriot system to Ukraine, although the exact date of the transfer has not been disclosed.
Ukraine will receive another Patriot system from the Netherlands. Additionally, another country, which has chosen to remain anonymous, will join in this supply.
Moreover, we recently reported that Ukraine, with the assistance of the United States, is possibly preparing another agreement to enhance its air defense. The idea of supplying Israeli Patriot systems is also being discussed.
