Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced that Patriot PAC-3 missiles from Germany, the delivery of which was agreed upon during the last meeting at the Ramstein format meeting, have arrived in Ukraine.
The Ukrainian president made the statement before a meeting with the president of the German Bundestag, Julia Klöckner, according to an Ukrinform correspondent, reports Telegraph.
"Indeed, at the last Ramstein meeting there was an agreement with the partners that we would receive approximately the number of missiles you mentioned (about 35 missiles – ed.) for the Patriot systems, specifically the PAC-3. To be honest, this was not from a single country, but from several. In total, the number corresponds to what you mentioned. This is one of the air defense packages that we periodically agree on with our partners. We would like more, but this is what we have at the moment."
"The German part of these missiles arrived yesterday (Tuesday), and we are grateful for that," Zelensky said.
As previously reported, on March 10, the German newspaper Der Spiegel, citing its own sources, reported that Germany, together with European partners, organized the delivery of about 35 modern Patriot PAC-3 missiles to Ukraine.
The initiative was reportedly led by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius. /Telegrafi/
