FT: Ukraine's partners put pressure on Greece, Spain to hand over part of its air defense systems to Kyiv
Kyiv • UNN
Ukraine's NATO and EU partners are pressuring Greece and Spain to provide Ukraine with more air defense systems, such as Patriot, to protect vulnerable regions from Russian attacks.
Ukraine's partners among NATO and EU member states are putting pressure on Greece and Spain to transfer more air defense systems to Ukraine. The Financial Times writes about this with reference to its own sources, UNN reports.
Details
It is noted that during the summit in Brussels last week, EU leaders personally called on the Prime Ministers of Spain and Greece Pedro Sanchez and Kyriakos Mitsotakis to transfer part of their air defense systems to Ukraine.
According to the leaders of both countries, their armed forces have more than a dozen Patriot systems, as well as other systems such as the S-300, but they do not need this number as much as Ukraine.
We all know who has them, we all know where they are, and we all know who really needs them
In addition, Poland and Romania, which also have Patriot, are under less pressure due to their more vulnerable location on the border with Ukraine.
Sources say that on Monday in Luxembourg, at a meeting of the foreign and defense ministers of all 27 EU member states, pressure is likely to increase to provide these systems.
There are countries that, to be frank, do not need to purchase air defense systems immediately. Each country is asked to decide what it can sacrifice
Recall
Air Force spokesman Ilya Yevlash said that the most vulnerable regions to enemy attacks are Kharkiv, Odesa, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Chernihiv, Sumy, and Dnipro. These regions can be protected from enemy attacks if there are more air defense systems.
