The German Patriot air defense system has arrived in Ukraine, as announced by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on July 21.

Ukraine has received Patriot air defense systems from the United States, Germany, and the Netherlands since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.

Patriot systems can effectively shoot down various types of Russian missiles, including ballistic and cruise missiles.

Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of providing supplies to the Ukrainian military, particularly shells and drones.

Strengthening air defense for the Kharkiv region is a priority to protect the area from glide bombs developed by Russia.
