Zelenskyy announces agreements with partners on Patriot missile deliveries

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that following negotiations with partners on the sidelines of the NATO summit, agreements have been reached on additional air defense system deliveries. The president stated that Ukraine will receive an aid package from the United States in the coming days, and separate agreements have also been made with European partners.

Speaking during an online briefing with journalists, Zelenskyy said the expected US package will include additional PAC-3 missiles for Patriot systems. He did not specify exact delivery dates but confirmed they would follow.

Zelenskyy also emphasized that after the political agreement with US President Donald Trump on a Patriot production license, technical work on implementing the license must begin quickly. On July 8, on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara, Trump announced that the US would grant Ukraine a license to produce Patriot missiles.

Kyiv has long urged Western partners to strengthen air defenses to repel Russian missile attacks. The new agreements indicate continued and enhanced support for Ukraine.
