German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has called on European countries to strengthen Ukraine's air defense using existing stockpiles. This was reported by Bild.


He emphasized that Germany will provide Ukraine with the third Patriot air defense system from its stocks, which is a clear signal of readiness to help in the face of insufficient equipment and artillery.


Scholz called on other European countries to join this initiative, emphasizing that time should not be wasted waiting for new systems. He expressed his belief that Ukraine should be provided with more air defense capabilities from existing stockpiles.
