No delays in Patriot missile deliveries to Ukraine – Grynkewich
NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Alexus Grynkewich, said the United States continues to supply Ukraine with Patriot interceptor missiles and other weapons paid for by European allies.
Bloomberg reported this, Censor.NET reports.
What is known
"Everything has been delivered, and another delivery took place just within the past week. I will not go into details about the numbers or types of missiles, but deliveries are continuing," Grynkewich said.
He stressed that "none of the items included in the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) — the NATO programme under which European allies fund purchases of American weapons — have been delayed".
"Every request to the US government for third-party weapons transfers has been approved. We continue to work on putting together future packages under PURL. We are putting considerable effort into this," the general added.
Background

- Over the past three months, Ukraine has received only 24 interceptor missiles for Patriot air defence systems from the United States.
