Germany handing Ukraine 64 missiles for Patriot systems

This is reported by Ukrinform with reference to Welt.

The decision on the transfer of missiles was announced by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius on the sidelines of the NATO defense ministerial in Brussels. According to Pistorius, this is important to ensure stable support of Ukraine’s Armed Forces at the current stage.

The missiles must be delivered immediately.

On Thursday, the USA, United Kingdom, Denmark, and the Netherlands announced hundreds of additional air defense missiles for Ukraine, including to support the nation’s counteroffensive against Russia. Shipments that are already underway are expected to be completed within weeks.

It should be recalled that Germany earlier handed over to Ukraine a Patriot air defense system to help protect its skies.
