U.S. greenlights German rocket and Patriot missile aid to Kyiv

On May 9, 2025, the United States authorized Germany to send a shipment of long-range artillery rockets and Patriot air-defense missiles to Ukraine to help enhance its defensive capabilities.
This decision follows intensified Russian missile attacks and Ukraine’s urgent need for enhanced air defense amid escalating civilian casualties and infrastructure damage.
Germany, acting as an intermediary for U.S.-made weapons requiring American export authorization, recently reaffirmed its commitment to Ukraine during Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s visit on May 10.
Ukrainian specialists emphasize that neutralizing a single ballistic missile typically requires a minimum of two Patriot interceptors, underscoring the critical value of the 100 missiles recently supplied amid Ukraine’s heavily pressured air defenses and ongoing conflict.
The transfer aims to bolster Ukraine’s immediate air defense and long-range strike capacity, though sustaining supply and integrating the weapons remains critical for altering the war’s course.
