“We are committed to providing Ukraine with additional air defense capabilities as it defends once morest Russia’s continued aggression, including Russia’s deliberate attacks on Ukrainian cities and critical civilian infrastructure. Today, we are announcing that, collectively, we will provide Ukraine with additional strategic air defense systems,” according to a joint statement signed by U.S. President Joe Biden, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Romanian President Klaus Iohannis, and Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky. The new supplies also include new Patriot systems from the United States, Germany, and Romania; additional Patriot battery components from the Netherlands; and a new Samp-T defense system from Italy.

“These five strategic air defense systems will help protect Ukrainian cities, civilians and soldiers, and we are closely coordinating with the Ukrainian government so that these systems can be deployed quickly,” the statement reads. “We are working toward an additional announcement of additional strategic air defense systems for Ukraine this year. In addition, in the coming months, the United States and partners intend to provide Ukraine with dozens of tactical air defense systems, including the Nasams, Hawk, Iris T-Slm, Iris T-Sls and Gepard. These systems will further expand and strengthen Ukraine’s air defense coverage.”

“Several allies — including Canada, Norway, Spain, and the United Kingdom — will continue to play a critical role in providing these systems, and many more supporters of Ukraine will contribute to the provision of interceptors,” the statement reads. “As we strengthen Ukraine’s air defenses, we are grateful for the coalition of more than 50 countries that continues to provide security assistance to Ukraine, as well as the Air Defense Immediate Action Initiative, to which partners have pledged more than $1 billion in air defense support for Ukraine,” it notes. “Our message to Moscow and the world is clear: our support for Ukraine is strong and unwavering,” the joint statement notes.
