Third Patriot system arrives in Ukraine from Germany as Russia intensifies shelling
As Russian forces continue to target civilian areas and energy infrastructure in Ukraine, President Zelenskyy expressed gratitude to Germany and the US for providing another Patriot air-defense system to the country.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that the third Patriot system had arrived in Ukraine from Germany.
Ukraine needs Patriot air-defense systems to protect its sky against Russian missiles, as Russia continues shelling civilians and energy infrastructure in different oblasts.
“We can already say that our air defense has been bolstered. The German “Patriot” system has arrived in Ukraine, and I would like to thank Germany and the United States for this step. We will be able to do more in the skies,” Zelenskyy said in his video address on 21 July.
