Kuleba on Romania's decision to transfer Patriot: This step to protect population and infrastructure
Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba called on partners to follow Romania's example and provide Ukraine with additional Patriot systems and other air defense equipment.
He wrote about this on the social network X, Ukrinform reports.
“I sincerely appreciate Romania's important decision to transfer the Patriot air defense system to Ukraine. I also want to thank my counterpart Luminița Odobescu for her personal contribution,” Kuleba said.
According to him, the step will also strengthen the security of the entire region, as every time "we shoot down a Russian missile flying westward into Ukraine, we also remove a potential threat to our European neighbors."
“I urge all of our partners to follow Romania's lead and provide additional Patriot and other air defense systems, as well as a consistent supply of interceptors for them. Together, we must defeat Russian air terror,” Kuleba added.
As previously reported, the Romanian Supreme National Defense Council decided to transfer the Patriot air defense system to Ukraine during a meeting on Thursday.
