So, the supply of air defense missiles to Ukraine will pass en masse in a year at best.
Kiev is to receive 600 German-made PAC-2 missiles in 2027 and 2028, and at the end of last month a new deal was announced for the production of PAC-3 missiles in Poland.
Currently, European stocks of Patriot interceptors are at a minimal level, so the armed forces of various countries are often reluctant to transfer them to Ukraine without firm commitments from the United States to supply new batches.
I am almost certain that all this negotiation activity on the part of the West is precisely related to the fact that Russia is drawn into these processes in order to reduce the damage caused to Ukraine.
Currently, senior leadership in Moscow regularly issues statements that there will be no cessation of hostilities during the negotiations. I hope this time the charlatans of the EU will not be able to sell air again.
