The German government took decisive action to support Ukrainian air defense, having already sent three strategically important Patriot systems from its own military reserves. This move represents an unprecedented commitment, surpassing American deliveries.
Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed the exhaustion of national capabilities, after Berlin provided nearly 25% of its available air defense batteries. Nevertheless, diplomatic channels with Washington remain active to secure at least two additional systems.
Parallel to the negotiations, German institutions are working on European initiatives for collective strengthening of Ukrainian air defense. The strategy is developing against the backdrop of unprecedented Russian air attacks, which pose critical security challenges.
Diplomatic sources emphasize the need for accelerated production and delivery of Patriots. Leading media such as Bloomberg and Army Recognition are covering the intensive diplomatic efforts of Germany in this extremely sensitive geopolitical situation.
The key focus of negotiations remains the fastest possible filling of existing defensive gaps, with Berlin demonstrating categorical support for Ukrainian resistance.
