Transfer of Patriot systems to Ukraine
Two Patriot air defense systems have been provided to Ukraine to protect cities and critical infrastructure as a result of agreements with Germany. This step is important for strengthening the country's defense capabilities amid aerial threats.
The Patriot systems, manufactured in the USA, are designed to destroy aircraft, cruise and ballistic missiles. Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov confirmed that the agreements with the German government laid the foundation for receiving these modern anti-aircraft missile systems.
