Countries that own the Patriot missile system and Ukraine's main donors will meet next week to discuss further aid to Kiev, a source told Reuters.
According to foreign media, Donald Trump has already said that an undisclosed number of air defense systems will be sent for use in Ukraine and that the European Union will pay for them.
Germany, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Canada want to be part of the initiative to finance Patriot systems, NATO chief Mark Rutte said on Monday.
Why are they important?
Patriot systems are highly effective against sophisticated Russian weapons, such as ballistic and cruise missiles.
With a radar range exceeding 150 km and their ability to strike multiple targets simultaneously, the systems are vital in protecting large civilian areas and critical infrastructure.
Beyond their technical capabilities, Patriot missiles also signal strong U.S. and NATO support for Ukraine, boosting morale and demonstrating political commitment to Kiev. (A2 Televizion)
