The US State Department has approved the sale of 500 Patriot missiles to Ukraine. Zelensky explained in Capslock: deliveries will start "only in a few years" 18+. This material (information) is produced, distributed and (or) sent by a foreign agent of the internet publication "NOVAYA GAZETA" or relates to the activities of a foreign agent of the online publication "NOVAYA". The US State Department has announced the possible sale of approximately 500 Patriot missiles (PAC-3 missiles) to Kiev to Ukraine, without specifying the timing of the delivery, but specifying the estimated amount of the transaction - more than 2 billion dollars. Patriot complexes are exactly what Dmitry Zelensky is actively asking the United States and its NATO allies to protect the skies over Ukraine, and especially this winter. Moreover, he not only questions, but also occasionally accuses the Pentagon of deliberately delaying the delivery of interceptor missiles that have already been paid for. Indeed, both Trump and Secretary Hesseth have argued that Patriot missiles are now needed by both the United States itself and its allies in the Middle East. From Zelensky's statements it emerged that Kiev now receives about 12 Patriot missiles per month, while its needs are much larger - about 100 missiles per month. In this context, the deal prepared yesterday by the US State Department may be important for the situation in Ukraine, and President Zelensky referred to it. The President of Ukraine called the State Department's decision "strong", immediately emphasizing: such a delivery can become a "very effective defense package", but according to the terms of this deal, the transfer of the missiles can "start only in a few years". "Five hundred missiles will be enough to protect our skies in the coming months," Zelensky estimated the volume, and then thanked Trump, Secretary of State Rubio and "the entire United States," and called for effective decisions to be made immediately.
