The US State Department has announced that it has approved the sale of 500 Patriot PAC-3 interceptor missiles to Ukraine. Ukraine will pay for the missiles through contributions from Canada, Germany and Norway that will be channeled through the American JUMPSTART program, as well as from national funds financed by the European Union as part of the support loan for Ukraine, according to a statement from the State Department. Volodymyr Zelensky said earlier this week that Ukraine had been waiting nearly a month for US approval to supply critical missiles while Russia stepped up attacks on energy and civilian infrastructure.
