General Alexus Grynkewich, who is commander of both US European Command and Nato, said that Washington has continued supplying Ukraine with the missiles.

“Everything has been delivered, in fact, we just had the delivery within the last week,”

Why are Norway, Germany and Canada paying the US to delay the delivery of Patriot missiles to Ukraine till 2030? Why are we not demanding immediate delivery?

NOELREPORTS @noelreports.com · 12h

Major clarification on the announced $2.1 billion Patriot deal: sources tell Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty’s Alex Raufoglu the 500 PAC-3 MSE missiles are newly produced and deliveries are not expected before 2030. There is also still no agreement for production in Ukraine. #Ukraine

NOELREPORTS @noelreports.com · 1d

❗️The US State Department has approved a possible $2.1 billion sale of 500 PAC-3 MSE missiles for Ukraine’s Patriot systems. Canada, Germany and Norway will fund the package. No delivery timeline was given, so the missiles may come from new production rather than depleted US stocks. #Ukraine

Air defense missiles that Ukraine urgently needs right now are set to arrive only in a few years! This is heartbreaking, it means Ukrainians will continue dying defenseless under russian bombings.

And it is being done out of spite, and to pressure us to surrender. Disgusting.

#Politics #Ukraine #Russia

UPDATE on the earlier report that the #Trump administration finally signed off on sending 500 Patriot missiles to Ukraine ...

Over on X-Twitter, Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that "deliveries may begin ONLY IN A FEW YEARS."

So essentially worthless.
