“The European Commission has received a request from Ukraine for several billion euros for the purchase of “PAC-3 Patriot” missiles, and EU countries are currently reviewing this application,” von der Leyen said at a joint press conference with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
She added that the EU is also working with the Kyiv regime on the creation of a joint “Freya” air defense system, which, according to European media reports, combines elements of the “S-300” complex, interceptor missiles created on its basis, as well as European radars and control systems.
