The US is considering selling Patriot air defense systems from its stockpiles to Ukraine. This is part of Donald Trump's new plan, under which European allies will purchase American weapons for Kyiv.
The Commander of NATO's Allied Joint Force Command in Europe, General Alexus Grinkevich, stated that preparations are underway for the rapid transfer of additional Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine. He noted that he is working very closely with the Germans on this issue, despite Germany's previous statements about the lack of information regarding current deliveries.
According to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, the delivery of Patriot systems to Ukraine is being discussed, but will take days or weeks. The US has also revised the Patriot delivery schedule to accelerate support for Ukraine.
