Background:

• The first group of Ukrainian soldiers completed training to operate Patriot air defence systems in Germany in February 2023, after the United States and Germany agreed to supply Patriots to Ukraine.
• At the time, Germany promised to provide Ukraine with a battery of Patriot air defence systems. In August, Ukraine received two additional Patriot launchers from Germany.
• Germany’s most recent package of military aid for Ukraine includes another Patriot air defence system.
