The US plans to transfer five Patriot missile systems to Ukraine

Patriot Systems for Ukraine

"According to unofficial information, the United States will provide Ukraine with five Patriot systems," Romaniuk said.

He added that these Patriots were in Israel and are now being modernized and equipped with new electronics. They will probably be transferred to Ukraine free of charge.

Earlier, the US president said he would consider supplying Ukrainian Patriots with missiles.

"They (the Ukrainians – ed.) do want to have the anti-missiles, as they call them… the Patriots. And we’re going to see if we can make some available. They’re very hard to get. We need them too," Trump said.

Earlier in Canada, a joint statement, which discussed further sanctions pressure on Russia was issued following the G7 leaders' meeting.

Also, the United States refused to back the UK's new package of sanctions against Russia aimed at increasing pressure on the Kremlin's military-industrial complex.
