He made the remarks during the Ukraine Recovery Conference, as reported by Sky News.
“We are also prepared to buy additional Patriot systems from the United States to make them available for Ukraine,” Merz said.
According to him, he had asked U.S. President Donald Trump last week to provide Ukraine with Patriot systems, noting that while “Americans need some of them for themselves, they also have many.”
“It has not yet been decided whether the delivery will take place,” the German Chancellor emphasized.
Earlier reports indicated that President Trump is considering sending an additional Patriot battery to Ukraine.
