Russia-Ukraine war live: Ukrainian foreign minister calls for Patriot missiles at Nato meeting

‘They have an abundance of them’: At Nato, Kuleba emphasizes the necessity of Patriots

Dmytro Kuleba, the Ukrainian foreign minister, sends his well wishes to Nato on their birthday. Speaking alongside Jens Stoltenberg, Kuleba highlights the ongoing challenge of “unprecedented missile and drone attacks.”

“I don’t want to dampen the mood… the birthday celebration, but my primary message today centers around the importance of Patriots,” he asserts.

Kuleba adds:

The ability to save Ukrainian lives, protect the Ukrainian economy, and safeguard Ukrainian cities relies heavily on the availability of Patriots and other air defense systems in Ukraine.

He also underscores the fact that “supplying Patriots is dependent on our allies, as they possess an abundant supply of them.”
