Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha announced that the European Union and its member states had approved €6.1 billion in funding for Ukraine’s defense. Sybiha said the support would also enable the procurement of critical equipment for Patriot systems.

Sybiha said the funding could be used to procure PAC-3 interceptors, air defense missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles and electronic warfare systems. Sybiha said: “We greatly value this decision. Giving Ukraine more capacity to stop Russian missiles and drones means better protection for our cities and less room for Russia to threaten security across Europe.”
