Reznikov announced this on Twitter.

"Today, our beautiful Ukrainian sky becomes more secure because Patriot air defense systems have arrived in Ukraine. Our air defenders have mastered them as fast as they could," Reznikov wrote.

He thanked Pentagon Secretary Lloyd Austin, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, Dutch Defense Minister Kajsa Ollongren and the American, German and Dutch people.

“Patriots for patriots. Do you know how to visualize a dream? We must tell about it to the world and give it life! This is exactly what happened with the Patriots, even before the large-scale war, even before my appointment to the most important position of my life at the most important time of my life," Reznikov emphasized.

He also added that he first raised the issue of the need to provide Ukraine with Patriot back in 2021.

"This is exactly what happened during my visit to the United States in August 2021, while I was serving as the DPM on the Re-Integration of the Temporary Occupied Territories. That's when I first told our partners, "We need the Patriots." Our country's liberty and independence are under threat. And what did we hear? It's impossible! But the impossible is possible," Reznikov said.
