In return, Kyiv is offering to send Berlin the same number of missiles later, once they are produced by Ukraine’s defense industry in the future.
The journalists recalled that in April, Kyiv received a 4 billion euro military aid package from Berlin, which included funding for hundreds of missiles for Patriot air defense systems.
The German government is currently considering Ukraine’s request and has not yet made a decision. It could be announced soon, before or during the NATO summit in July.
A spokesperson for Germany’s Defense Ministry declined to comment. A spokesperson for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was not immediately able to comment on the situation, saying he needed time to verify the information.
