Ukraine has been waiting for almost a month for US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's signature on the transfer of Patriot and NASMS missiles, President Volodymyr Zelensky said. He ordered Ukrainian officials to discuss this issue again with the American side. At the same time, Ukraine is negotiating with other countries that have stocks of PAC-2 and PAC-3 missiles. Last week, the Washington Post reported that allies are ready to transfer some Patriot missiles to Ukraine, but this requires Pentagon approval, as the missiles are manufactured in the United States. According to publication sources, Pete Hessett has not yet granted such approval.
