Ukraine is conducting "active negotiations" on the acquisition of two batteries of Patriot anti-aircraft missiles

The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dmytro Kuleba, said that Ukraine is conducting "active negotiations" on the acquisition of two batteries of Patriot anti-aircraft missiles and one SAMP/T.

At the same time, the Financial Times writes that European capitals rejected Kyiv's demands to send its air defense systems to Ukraine.

Kyiv is asking for Patriot systems from Poland, Romania and Spain to be transferred to it, two people familiar with the negotiations told the Financial Times.

"They only need seven. But it is difficult," said one of them.

European countries have declared that they do not plan to send air defense systems to Ukraine, arguing that they need to preserve their defense potential. Germany has transferred two Patriot systems to Ukraine, but this week made it clear that it would not provide any more.

"At the moment, we cannot offer more systems," the Bundeswehr said on Monday.

Polish President Duda also ruled out the possibility of deliveries of Patriot systems, specifying that there is a possibility that he may transfer more of his Soviet-made missiles to Kyiv, without specifying which ones and in what quantity.

"In Poland, we are just starting to build the Patriot anti-missile defense system, this system is not ready in Poland yet, so we don't have to sacrifice anything, even if we wanted to," said Duda.
