President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that additional Patriot air defense systems have arrived in Ukraine and are now operational, thanks to support from Germany and Chancellor Merz. This development comes as Ukraine continues to defend its cities and infrastructure from frequent Russian ballistic and aerial attacks. Zelensky emphasized the need for even more air defense systems, including mobile fire groups, interceptor drones, and combat aircraft such as Gripens, French jets, and F-16s, and highlighted upcoming talks with international partners and manufacturers to further upgrade Ukraine’s multi-layered air defense capabilities.
