Ukraine should receive another system of antise defense of Patriot, which was previously stationed in Israel, and there is also the possibility for her European allies to send another additional system.
According to New York Times, the system from Israel will be delivered to Ukraine after repairing completion, four present and ex-American officials confirmed. At the same time, Western Allies are considering the possibilities of logistical transfer of an additional system from Germany or Greece.
Officials who spoke under the condition of anonymity, did not comment on the position of the current US President Donald Trump on that delivery, nor did the decision be made during his mandate or even during the Joe Biden administration.
Unpublished delivery has come to the moment of reinforced Russian attacks in Ukraine, including a rocket stroke on Kiev 24. April, in which 12 people were killed.
Last year, the Allies tried to respond to the request of Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenia for seven systems Patriot. Ukraine is currently owning eight systems, six of which are in operation, while two on the repair, a US official cited.
With an upcoming system from Israel and possible additional from Germany or Greece, Ukraine could have a total of the ten systems of Patriot. U.S. officials confirmed that the Israeli system is an older model, but is expected to arrive in Ukraine to the summer.
