Ukraine is in active talks on two Patriot and one SAMP/T, Kuleba says
Ukraine is searching for air defenses all over the world and now is trying to reach agreement on two Patriot batteries and one SAMP/T system capable of intercepting ballistic missiles
This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba during a telethon.
He emphasized that the supply of all Patriot batteries depend on the decision of the United States.
"All Patriot batteries ultimately depend on the decision of the United States, because it is an American system. We know exactly where and what is located. We are currently actively talking about two Patriot batteries and one Samp-T battery," the Foreign Minister said.
At the same time, Kuleba emphasized that if the countries that have these systems were ready to transfer them now, it would be a matter of weeks and Ukraine could receive the SAMs.
