Washington announces the supply of Ukraine with the Patriot air defense system

US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, announced that his country will provide Ukraine with the most advanced Patriot air defense system, at a time when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is about to arrive in Washington.

"Today's assistance package includes, for the first time, the Patriot air defense system, which is capable of shooting down intercontinental missiles, short-range ballistic missiles, and aircraft flying at altitudes that clearly exceed the capabilities of the defense systems that have been delivered so far," Secretary Anthony Blinken said in a statement.
