Ukrainian Defence Minister Denys Shmyhal held a meeting in Kyiv with U.S. President’s Special Representative Keith Kellogg. They discussed, in particular, the possibility of transferring new Patriot systems to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
This was reported by Shmyhal in Telegram.
"Expressed gratitude for the powerful assistance from the U.S. to Ukraine. Informed General Kellogg about the outcomes of this week’s ’Ramstein’ meeting, during which we received strong signals of support," Shmyhal stated.
During the meeting, they discussed the possibility of the Ukrainian Defence Forces receiving new Patriot systems and ammunition for them.
"Provided the delegation with data on the battlefield situation, as well as details of the Russian provocation against Poland. With such actions, Russia tests NATO’s reaction, so the response of the allies should be coordinated and decisive. Called for increased sanctions pressure on the aggressor," the minister added.
Shmyhal thanked the U.S. for its support, also specifically thanking Kellogg for his personal efforts to bring about a just and lasting peace.
