Germany provided Ukraine with a new batch of Patriot missiles
The head of state stated this before a meeting with the President of the Bundestag, Julia Klöckner.
Indeed, at the last Ramstein, there was an agreement from partners that we would receive approximately the number of missiles you are talking about (we are talking about 35 missiles - ed.) for the Patriot systems, namely PAC-3. It was not from one country, let's be honest, from several countries. In total, it was as much as you said.

We would have liked more, it turned out the way it did. The German part of these missiles came in yesterday, thank you for that.
