NATO is Looking for Ways to Speed up Delivery of Patriot to Ukraine

The North Atlantic Alliance has convened a meeting of commanders to speed up the supply of Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine.

This was reported by European Pravda, citing a senior NATO military official who wished to remain anonymous.

According to him, the meeting will be held after the speech of the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Alexus Hrynkiewicz, during a symposium in Wiesbaden.

In addition, on July 23, Hrynkiewicz held talks with the German Chief of Defense to discuss military support for Ukraine, including the transfer of Patriot systems.

The issue of accelerating the delivery of American air defense systems was one of the main topics of discussion, as these systems are critically needed to counter massive drone and missile attacks from the Russian Federation.

“The preparations are ongoing, we are working very closely with the Germans on the Patriot transfer. I have been instructed to do this as soon as possible,” Hrynkiewicz said during a conference in Wiesbaden.

On July 15, US President Donald Trump announced that the first deliveries of Patriot missiles to Ukraine had already begun. However, the Federal Ministry of Defense of Germany stated that they had not been aware of any missiles or other Patriot components being delivered.

At the same time, a representative of the German defense ministry said that a regular meeting of the Contact Group on Ukraine’s defense in the Ramstein format would be held on July 21 to discuss ways to speed up the transfer of Patriot systems to Ukraine.

As a reminder, President Donald Trump proposed to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to sell Ukraine not two, but five Patriot air defense systems.

The proposal came after Trump watched videos of Russian air strikes on Ukrainian cities and then called Merz on his cell phone to offer to increase the number of systems for Ukraine.

At the same time, The Telegraph reported that Germany had allegedly already transferred the first Patriot anti-aircraft missile battery to Ukraine as part of an agreement with the United States.

Militarnyi questions the veracity of this information.
