According to information published by Bloomberg on July 4, 2025, Germany has entered intensive negotiations to secure additional Patriot air defense missile systems for Ukraine, responding to an urgent operational gap following the United States’ recent decision to pause deliveries of critical weapon systems. The initiative comes as Ukraine faces an intensification of Russian drone and missile strikes, including the largest aerial assault on Kyiv since the conflict began. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s administration is pursuing multiple channels to meet Ukraine’s immediate air defense needs, with the possibility of purchasing Patriot systems directly from the U.S. for transfer to Ukraine now firmly under consideration.
