On Friday, November 8, the US State Department announced that it had approved the sale of 500 Patriot interceptor missiles to Ukraine at a value of approximately two billion and 100 million dollars. According to the announcement of the American Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the cost of purchasing these defense missiles will be paid from the assistance of Canada, Germany and Norway through the American "Jumpstart" program, as well as the financial resources of Ukraine, which will be provided in the support loan of the European Union. This decision was announced while the delay in the delivery of the American missiles became one of the factors of tension between Washington and Kiev. Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, said at the beginning of the week that his country has been waiting for the approval of the United States to receive a critical missile payload for almost a month; It is the case that Russia has increased its attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure and civilian facilities. Zelensky has repeatedly asked the US to speed up the delivery of the missiles that NATO allies are buying under the Fiboral program before the start of winter.
