Ukraine is currently negotiating the provision of more man-portable air defense systems in order to further protect each energy facility. This was stated by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal during a press conference, according to a UNN correspondent .
Today, we are receiving four Patriot systems in stages, the SAMP/T system that Italy promised us. We are now negotiating to provide Ukraine with more MANPADS - air defense systems - in order to individually protect each energy facility. They have proved to be very effective in the individual protection of individual facilities, so we are asking our partners for more of them for this winter
