Zelenskyy says US will send Patriot interceptors monthly – but not enough to protect from Russian attacks
Speaking in Belgrade, the president also said Kyiv is looking for extra missiles from Germany, Poland, Norway, the Netherlands and Israel.
Ukraine has reached an agreement with the United States for a monthly supply of interceptor missiles for its Patriot air defense systems, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. However, Zelenskyy stated that the monthly deliveries are still insufficient to protect Ukraine from Russian attacks. The Ukrainian leader emphasized that the search for a solution to the missile defense problem begins with the manufacturer, the United States, which has been the primary supplier of interceptor missiles since the start of the full-scale war.
Zelenskyy confirmed that the United States has agreed to provide missiles every month, but admitted that the current volume is smaller than in 2025. In addition to the US, Ukraine is exploring options for missile supplies from Europe, the Middle East, and other regions. Serbia's President Aleksandar Vučić expressed support for Ukraine's territorial integrity and its path towards the European Union.
The two leaders also discussed trade, energy cooperation, and diplomatic efforts to end Russia's war on Ukraine. Vučić noted that Ukraine could always count on Serbia's support in EU accession, and both countries discussed potential free trade zone in the future.
