"We support the idea that Germany should transfer the Patriot system, which it is ready to provide to Poland, to Ukraine," Kuleba said.
According to him, yesterday, during the NATO ministerial meeting, and today in Lodz, he spoke with everyone who can positively influence the decision to transfer the first Patriot air defense system to Ukraine.
