> The European Commission approved a €6.1 billion transfer to Ukraine for air-defense systems, missiles and drones, including PAC-3 interceptors for Patriot systems despite the loan’s European-content rules. The EU and NATO are also discussing a swap in which countries would provide missiles from their stocks now and receive replacements from Ukraine’s 2027 batches.
