The Western allies who support Ukraine work on an agreement to provide kyiv with more Patriot air defense systems before the NATO summit scheduled for the end of June. Sources suggest that the United States and Greece are potential suppliers. These efforts are involved at a time when Ukraine has an urgent need to strengthen its defenses, especially against Russian ballistic missiles. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently expressed his government’s desire to buy ten patriot systems, stressing their crucial importance in protection against these threats.
Israeli air defense system
According to Ukrainian military analysts, Ukraine currently has seven fully operational patriot systems. In addition to existing systems, a Patriot Unit Retaining from Israel is redirected to kyiv. Germany or Greece could also provide another system. This influx of Patriot is crucial while Russia intensifies its missile attacks against Ukraine. The recent attack on kyiv, which resulted in the death of 13 civilians, underlines the urgent need to strengthen air defense capacities.
US weapons stocks that have decreased since the previous administration, the new Patriot systems will be essential to allow Ukraine to continue to resist Russian assault. An agreement on the recently concluded minerals between Ukraine and the United States could open the way to additional armament support if kyiv anticipates a possible increase in Russian attacks.
