Ukraine asks EU for billions of euros for air defense

EU member states are already reviewing Ukraine’s request to purchase missiles for the Patriot system. This involves several billion euros from a 90-billion-euro loan, according to European Pravda.

Ukraine has submitted a request to the European Commission to use several billion euros from a loan totaling 90 billion euros to purchase PAC-3 missiles for the Patriot air defense systems. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced this during a briefing in Brussels.

She says that the EU received a new request for disbursement that day, which amounts to several billion euros and is intended to cover Ukraine’s air defense costs, including highly effective PAC-3 air defense systems.

According to von der Leyen, member states are currently reviewing Ukraine’s request, and it is moving in the right direction.
