Romania also said on Thursday that it will deliver the Patriot system to Ukraine.
On Thursday, the United States confirmed the information previously reported by the Financial Times (FT) newspaper, according to which Ukraine will be the priority in the future supplies of Patriot anti-aircraft systems.
– Missiles completed by production lines go to Ukraine. Deliveries to countries currently in the queue must be delayed, said a representative of the US National Security Council John Kirby.
However, according to Kirby, missile deliveries to Israel and Taiwan are an exception and will not be delayed.
Romania also said on Thursday that it will deliver the Patriot system to Ukraine. According to Romania, the delivery takes place on the condition that Romania receives a similar or similar system from its allied countries and that the vulnerability arising from the delivery of the Patriot system to the country’s air defense is quickly compensated.
Russia’s airstrikes in Ukraine on the night before Thursday seriously damaged, among other things, the thermal power plant, said DTEK, which operates the power plant.
