Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Israel has supplied Ukraine with a Patriot missile defense system, marking a significant development in Kyiv’s defensive capabilities. Zelensky also claimed Ukraine will soon acquire two additional Patriot systems. This contradicts earlier statements by Israel’s Foreign Ministry, which told The Kyiv Independent in June that no Patriot systems had been sent. Zelensky stressed that the U.S.-made Patriot defense system would greatly bolster Ukraine’s military efforts in the ongoing war.
