Ukraine says it has defended around 2,000 cruise missiles and rockets since the war began in February 2022. Many cities and towns were destroyed and numerous people were killed in air raids.
Vladimir Putin's troops are currently launching daily air strikes on Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj repeatedly calls on Western heads of state to supply additional air defense systems. The German Bundeswehr alone still has ten units of the Patriot system. Many of them are reserved for NATO missions, according to Tagesspiegel. So far in addition to Germany, the USA has delivered a Patriot system to Ukraine. There were also two Patriot launchers delivered to Ukraine from the U.S. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has called on the Western allies to send further air defense support to Ukraine in “Delays in Delivery’’. The delivery of air defense defense systems will allow Russian missiles to hit more, more targets, he said.. The Ukrainian Foreign Minister's proposal: Protect Ukrainian and NATO airspace from Poland at the same time.
