Germany to send more Patriot missiles to Ukraine, warns of stepped-up Russian winter attacks
Germany will also expand air-to-air missile deliveries and keep supplying drones and long-range ammunition as officials warn of more Russian air raids.
- The European Commission approved Ukraine's request to use EU loan funds to purchase US-made Patriot interceptor missiles totaling over $2.3 billion under the Ukraine Support Loan program for 2026 and 2027.
- The EU loan was established in December 2025, with a total amount around €90-104.4 billion, allocating about €30-34 billion for economic support and approximately €60-70 billion for military and defense capabilities.
- The loan financing mechanism allows Ukraine to buy weapons from suppliers outside the EU, such as the US and UK, when European producers cannot meet the demand.
- Ukraine urgently needs Patriot interceptors due to frequent ballistic missile attacks that current air defense systems cannot adequately counter.
