❗️Ukraine is signing contracts with partners for the delivery of about 1,000 missiles for Patriot air defense systems, funded by an EU loan of €3.2 billion. Defense Minister Yevhenii Khmara announced this at the Ramstein meeting. Most of the missiles will arrive only over the coming years, so Kyiv is asking allies to transfer 300 missiles from their existing stocks now — offering in return future improved munitions from the new contracts.
