Germany will provide Ukraine with additional Patriot air defence launchers and missiles for them.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz reached an agreement on the matter on the sidelines of the NATO Summit in Vilnius. They also discussed security guarantees for Ukraine on its way to NATO, Zelenskyy said.

"There is an agreement on additional Patriot launchers and missiles for them from Germany. This is very important for protecting life in Ukraine from Russian terror! I am grateful for Germany's readiness for long-term, multi-year support for Ukraine and our defence of freedom. Long-term support programmes are the best signal to everyone in the world that our Europe will remain a space of security and peace," the president noted.
