UE cumpără rachete Patriot pentru Ucraina. Kievul are nevoie peste de 2.000.000.000 € pentru apărarea aeriană • Newsweek România

The European Commission has approved Ukraine's request to use funds from a €90 billion EU loan to purchase American Patriot missiles. Ukraine seeks over €2 billion for air defense interceptors, highlighting the urgent need for military support against Russian missile and drone attacks. The funding will come from a financial mechanism designed to support Ukraine's economy and military needs, with a significant portion allocated for defense capabilities. This allows Ukraine to acquire necessary military equipment from outside the EU when local production is insufficient. Access to Patriot interceptors is crucial for protecting cities and strategic infrastructure from aerial threats.
