Estonian FM calls on NATO allies to transfer Patriot system to Ukraine
Allies should provide Ukraine with emergency military assistance, ammunition and air defense, in particular Patriot systems, Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna told journalists in Brussels, reported from RBC Ukraine.
According to him, the day before he held a bilateral meeting with his Ukrainian colleague Dmytro Kuleba. At the same time, the parties discussed ammunition, long-term commitments, as well as air defense.
"We have many air defense systems, such as Patriot, that we ourselves do not use, but Ukraine is under intense attack every day, 24/7. So, we must transfer these systems that we do not use to Ukraine so that it can protect its people, civilian infrastructure, as well as energy infrastructure,” Tsahkna said.
The minister expressed hope that during the meeting on April 4, the allies will be able to take further steps to support Ukraine.
