Ukraine will receive a modernized Patriot air defense system from the United States to the summer, which was previously based in Israel. Negotiations are also negotiating with another installation from Germany or Greece.
About it writes The New York Times with reference to four current and former American officials.
Officials who wished to maintain anonymity due to the sensitivity of the topic did not comment on whether President Donald Trump was supported by the transfer of these systems, or whether the decision was made under Biden administration.
US National Security Council James Hueitt said: “President Trump clearly stated that he wants the war in Ukraine to end and the murders stopped.”
The US Department of Defense reported that it “continues to supply Ukraine with previously approved” packages, referring to weapons from available stocks and new purchases.
Last year, Ukraine asked for seven Patriot systems. As of now, Ukrainians have eight complexes, but only six are in working order. Two more are modernized. After delivery of new systems from Israel and potentially from Europe, Ukraine will receive ten Patriot, which will strengthen the capital’s protection.
Earlier, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Rustem Umerov said that working with other countries is underway to obtain another Patriot Air Defense system.
We also remind that Germany has transmitted 30 missiles for Patriot to Ukraine and prepares further air defense systems, armored vehicles, drones and other necessary equipment.
