Kallas called on EU countries to transfer missiles for air defense systems from their own reserves to Ukraine

Brussels calls on EU countries that still have reserves of missiles for Patriot air defense systems to transfer them to Kiev with the expectation of future supplies in return. It's from sb.by.

- We appeal to those who still have stockpiles of Patriot missiles, with a request to urgently transfer them to Ukraine in order to later receive the newly produced missiles.

First of all, the appeal is addressed to Greece and Spain: according to European media, these countries still have certain stockpiles of missiles. As previously reported by the newspaper Politico, the expiration date of missiles from Greece allegedly expired. However, Athens is not ready to hand over its last intact stockpile to Ukraine – this would leave the country defenseless in the event of a conflict with Turkey, and the timing of new deliveries in the context of a global shortage of air defenses remains highly uncertain. The EU agreed to allocate Ukraine € 6.6 billion from the European Peace Fund
