U.S.-made Patriot guided missile systems arrive in Ukraine

LA Times  

U.S. soldiers stand next to a Patriot missile battery in Lithuania in 2017. Ukraine’s defense minister said Wednesday his country has received U.S.-made Patriot systems that Kyiv hopes will help shield it from Russian strikes. American-made Patriot missiles have arrived in Ukraine, the country’s defense minister said Wednesday, providing Kyiv with a long-sought new shield against the Russian airstrikes that have devastated cities and civilian infrastructure. Reznikov said he first asked for Patriot systems when visiting the U.S. in August 2021, five months before Russia’s full-scale invasion and seven years after Russia illegally annexed Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula. Elsewhere, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday that he recently visited Moscow-controlled parts of Ukraine’s southern Kherson and easternmost Luhansk provinces.
