EU defense ministers did not agree on the transfer of Patriot missiles to Ukraine

EU defense ministers failed to agree on the transfer to Ukraine of the remaining Patriot missiles, said the head of the European diplomacy Kaya Kallas. It was assumed that instead of the transferred missiles, countries in the future will receive new ones.

“No new decisions on the transfer of missiles have been made today,” Ms. Kallas said at a press conference following the meeting of ministers.

In September, Germany received preliminary consent from the United States to transfer ten missiles for Patriot systems to Ukraine. According to the agreement, other European countries will be able to share with Kiev stockpiles of missiles produced in the United States or using American technologies. According to Reuters, the US administration pledged to provide Ukraine with $400 million in aid, but Patriot was not included in the aid package.
