> Germany will provide Ukraine with PAC-2 air-defense missiles from its own stockpiles for American-made Patriot systems. Ukrainian Defense Minister Yevhen Khmara said Kyiv is contracting for about 1,000 Patriot missiles, but most will arrive only in the coming years, prompting requests for partners’ existing supplies. The EU also approved an exception allowing Ukraine to buy critical Patriot components.
