To expedite Ukraine's receipt of Patriot missile systems, the US will send its next Patriot system to Germany. Germany will then forward two of its Patriots to Ukraine, replacing them with the newly arrived US system. This decision follows delays in Switzerland's expected delivery. The move is part of a broader Trump administration plan to funnel US weapons to Ukraine via NATO and EU members, who purchase the arms from Washington. Several countries have already committed to this initiative, aiming to counter Russia's intensified aerial attacks on Ukraine.
