The US Department of Defense announced on the 17th that training of the surface-to-air missile system "Patriot" for Ukrainian soldiers has begun in the United States, and the Netherlands also intends to provide the "Patriot".
As missile attacks by the Russian military continue, assistance is being advanced to strengthen Ukraine's air defense capabilities.
The US Department of Defense announced on the 17th that training of Ukrainian soldiers with the Patriot surface-to-air missile system has begun at an Army base in the southern US state of Oklahoma.
About 100 Ukrainian soldiers will be trained over the next few months on how to use the Patriot.
In addition, Prime Minister Rutte of the Netherlands conveyed his intention to provide Patriots to Ukraine at a meeting with President Biden at the White House in the United States.
In response, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his gratitude and emphasized that "we will further strengthen our air defense system."
The Ukrainian military said that the attack that killed more than 40 people, including children, at an apartment in the eastern city of Dnipro on the 14th of this month was due to anti-ship missiles from Russia, and said, ``Only surface-to-air missile systems such as the Patriot. We can intercept it.”
