The first results of the NATO summit: Biden announces additional Patriot systems for Ukraine

In total, Ukraine will receive five more air defence systems, including three additional Patriot batteries from the United States, Germany and Romania. 

"I am announcing a historic transfer of air defence equipment to Ukraine: The United States, Germany, the Netherlands, Romania and Italy will provide Ukraine with equipment for five additional strategic air defence systems. In the coming months, the United States and our partners intend to provide Ukraine with dozens of additional tactical air defence systems. The United States will ensure that when we export critical air defence interceptors, Ukraine has priority to receive them before anyone else...", Biden said in his opening remarks. 

In total, Ukraine will receive hundreds of additional interceptors over the next year, which will help protect Ukrainian cities and troops on the front lines from air attacks by Russian missiles.

The partners also plan to provide Ukraine with SAMP-T, NASAMS, HAWK, IRIS T-SLM, IRIS T-SLS and Gepard systems.
