Germany announced in May that the Ukrainian crew started training on the third Patriot air defence system for Ukraine.
German Defence Minister Borys Pistorius said Germany was transferring a quarter of its own stock of these weapons to Ukraine, including the third Patriot system, and would not be able to provide any more.
Romania also announced plans to provide Ukraine with a Patriot air defence system.
