Germany, led by Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, has declared that its stocks of Patriot air defense system missiles are exhausted, preventing further provision to Ukraine. Baerbock emphasized the urgent need to explore the purchase of air defense systems for Kyiv from third countries, alongside allies. This situation underscores the challenges in bolstering Ukraine's defenses against Russian attacks, including those with 3,000 kg glide bombs. The discussion extends to the broader European context, where EU High Representative for Foreign Policy Josep Borrell criticized the EU's reluctance to provide Ukraine with more of the approximately 100 Patriot Air Defense Systems it has, particularly the refusal to supply the 7 systems Ukraine has urgently requested. The appeal to NATO members to source Patriot systems from elsewhere further highlights the international dimension of the military support crisis for Ukraine.
