German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said that Germany is unable to provide Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine, as doing so would create critical gaps in Germany's own defenses. "Supply of equipment -. Patriot systems, in particular, are proving difficult. Germany has already delivered several such systems, along with a large number of guided missiles for them. We can do no more at this time. The minister emphasized that the contributions of other countries to support Ukraine remain significantly lower than those of Germany; as a result, Berlin expects its allies to increase their efforts.
