 Patriot missile systems are already in Ukraine. Thanks to Poland, Ukraine received Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems and the first Leopard tanks said the head of the Polish Ministry of Defense, Mariusz Blaszczak. He did not disclose their number. The minister clarified that since the beginning of hostilities, Poland has transferred arms worth 2.2 billion to Ukraine. I must emphasise that thanks to the efforts of Poland, Patriot batteries or the first Leopard tanks, among other things, have already reached Ukraine. We are not only the main points of transfer of aid, but also one of the largest donors. Blaszczak said in an interview with the Razon newspaper, sending the Patriot to Ukraine was planned as part of the US military aid package announced on December 21, 2022. In January, following talks with US President Joe Biden, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced that Berlin would also send Patriot systems to Kiev. On January 16, the Ukrainian military arrived in the United States for training in the use of the Patriot systems. On the same day, similar exercises began in Germany. Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mark Rut also spoke about the intention to transfer Patriots to Ukraine.
