Patriot from Germany arrived in Ukraine - Zelensky
This was announced by Volodymyr Zelensky in his evening address, Ukrinform reports.
The Head of State heard a report from the Commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk, on the work of fire groups to shoot down enemy Shahed kamikaze drones and counter Russian missiles.
"We can already say that our air defence is being strengthened. The German Patriot has arrived in Ukraine," Zelensky said.
He expressed gratitude to Germany and the United States for this step.
"We can do much more in the sky. Of course, there is still a lot of work to be done, and this is far from guaranteed protection, but nevertheless, it is more power for Ukraine," the President stressed.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, Ukraine will receive five newest air defence batteries, including four Patriot batteries and one Samp/T from the United States, Germany, Romania, the Netherlands and Italy, as well as dozens of tactical air defence systems, following the 75th NATO Summit in Washington.
