Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dimitro Kuleba said Wednesday that preparations for the transfer to Ukrainian territory of Patriot defense systems have already begun and noted that Kiev expects the process to be finalized as soon as possible.
«Last year we finalized a revolutionary decision to achieve the supply of Patriot systems to Ukraine, something that was agreed upon by the leaders of Ukraine and the United States, Volodimir Zelenski and Joe Biden. We appreciate this big step taken by the United States and we are looking forward to their full transfer,» he said during a press conference, Ukrinform news agency reported.
The head of the Ukrainian diplomacy pointed out that both the president and the whole diplomatic team of the country «are working to find solutions regarding the supply of all kinds of weapons from Western countries. He especially referred to tanks and other armed vehicles.
In this regard, he emphasized that there is no doubt that the Ukrainian army will be provided with more weapons. As part of the new aid package for Ukraine, the United States will deliver these systems, which will significantly strengthen the country’s anti-aircraft defense.
