- Germany's defense ministry says it's supplying Ukraine with an additional Patriot air defense system.
It said the system comes from German military stocks and would be handed over immediately. Russia has been stepping up its missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure. Ukraine's president thanked Berlin, saying the delivery comes at a critical time.

I love that answer....."it's better than nothing".
Marginally
"At least Germany is doing SOMETHING..." - For an instant, I was hoping that the headline was cut short, and that there were actually "systems" (pl.) delivered :(
Yes,a few billion dollars,a lot of human lives,and millions in property damage better than 'nothing'.

In europe Sweden, Spain, Switzerland, The Nederlands, Romania, Poland have Patriot systems as well.
The Nederlands gave laucher batteries at least, that's all.
I would leave out the Swiss, they are indeed neutral.
Those countries need their defence systems, cannot afford to just give away. That applies to munitions as well
@gaborrajnai6213
In this case neutrality supports ruzzia. If switzerland has problems to deliver ammo in times of war, the workers of oerlikon should look for other jobs.

They are very expensive. The patriot battery. Instead of slamming Germany we need to give thanks. the rest of EU need to help Ukraine more. They also need to send in troops to help. The USA is like 10,000 miles away.

They get cheaper by the dozen
Thanks for nearly nothing
Not to mention that Germany has passed its brand new IRIS-T system that it wanted to introduce in its own military right on to Ukraine when it rolled off the factory line.
Why should they send troops, when you haven't even started to properly draft your own people?
Thank GOD
Thank speaker Johnson.
Thank you! Germany!
I think they are in bigger need of ammunition than another system. But of course, Ukraine will accept any help.
Ukraine offensive position???.
Russia is gradually grinding its way forward.
It’s doing what we Brits did to the German army in WW1, we bled the German army red eg destroyed its men.
Russia is strategically and tactically on the front foot and Ukraine is on the back foot and just reacting to whatever Russia wants to do.
The west is doing just enough to ensure the Ukraine army can keep fighting and dying in horrific numbers.
Ukraine is unable to win in any form, this war stops when Russia decides it’s got what it wants.
If Ukraine wants to join NATO or the EU(highly unlikely due to corruption and lack of free speech etc), it then cannot ever attack Russia to reclaim lost territories.
The economy of the EU is being destroyed by the USA at the same time.
It seems all the sane people have left the EU.
Agree 100%
Russians die at the same rate. It looks like Russia becomes weaker.
And UE is just fine, that's why east people go there for jobs and not vice versa.
They need at least 7 systems not one!
There are 100 of these systems in Europe!
What's wrong with our European leaders?!
They’re on putins payroll.
Боятся что русская армия придёт в Европу. Но мы не придем, прилетят ракеты и сотрут ваши города, если вы, задумаете очередной поход на Восток.
It seems you don't now much abot this. 1 System contains multiple launchers. So, in this example, germany didn't send "one" launcher but a whole batterie which consists of multiple launchers, the radar, and so on. Also, why does the "EU" not send "more"? Simple, you don't send stuff wich weakens your abilitys to defend yourself and train your troops. Also, Germany in particular already has send more than that, IRIS-T and Gepard. Germany is the nation which has a lead in AA stuff send to Ukraine. Can be done more? Yes, definetly but not "much more".
@@polarstorm5986he probably knows that. Even ukraine is saying they need more. So i dont think they dont know that it is a system. The fact is it is not enough to cover ukraine
@@xpact83 Not so sure bout that, because he said there are 100 of "systems" in the EU (germany has, or better "had" 10 or so iirc). And when you look at other comments here you will see that many many people don't know what "system" means. Anyway, i agree, we can do more, not much more, but more and Ukraine needs more. About the "cover ukraine" thing, well Germany, as example, with its systems, even before it has given some away already couldn't cover its territory, no country can, except for very small ones like Luxemburg or such. So the "cover all of Ukraine" is an illusion.
Vielen dank Deutschland
Thx Marina .👍
Only one come on 😳 but thanks Germany
Every minister in Ukraine, has enough money to buy a few.
every system has around twenty launchers and cost more than a billion dollars
Other countries have to follow.
@@gluteusmaximus1657 Like The Netherlands, closing hospitals for children, because of 'financial problems', 'supporting' mafia regime in Ukraine.

Thanks, Germany
Germany had a total of 12 patriot systems before the war.
Ten. This was only possible because a system is back from maintenance. The remaining systems are tied to NATO.
Germany ordered four more 1.3 bn. each.
So, which is it, 'Ukraine receives' or 'Germany to give'?
I have a feeling that parliament 's refusal to pass the budget or deal with any other issues had something to do with it.
Helping Ukraine defend itself is the baseline sensible thing to do. Sadly too late but that's also a game being played
Ok, ok be ready
UK 🇬🇧 hasn’t sent a single Sky Sabre air defence system, they’ve been operational for 2 years already
True and can’t detect 2 different missle , but we still send air defence to ukraine what put own country at risky
Thanks Marina.
It would be nice if they didn't buy replacements from the US. That would essentially reward the US for failing to meet its responsibilities.
The US has no more responsibilities than Germany, so i am fine with it when it comes to that. But both countries failed to understand how important this issue is, and that we should both do much more.

At the beginning of the war Germany was the most hesitant and cowardly country when it came to arms deliveries for Ukraine. Looks like they finally came to understand that Putin needs to be defeated by all means. Thank you 🇩🇪for supporting 🇺🇦
One of the bigger problems if not the biggest is the moderate (what I'm hearing) Republican under Johnson. Me too, I'm frustated that Scholz is stubborn about Taurus system. Taurus the Bull ought to do something to Johnson's behind.
Johnson is doing every possible thing to prolong the stalemate, and he is very effective in this way.
Considering his (recently exposed) Rus "connections", this looks more than suspicious.
😂😂😂
@@user-vx5vo3gs2w Sure Rus connections. Buddy, its been 8 years since this takingpoint got popular. Forget it its boring.
@@user-vx5vo3gs2w It’s just that Johnson and other congressmen know very well that Russia is the only country capable of destroying the United States if Russia is driven to madness for a long time. Therefore, no one in America clearly wants Ukraine to win.
The more Putin hates the US Patriot system the more we like it.
Amazing. Sensational.
Only one?!
better than nothing
They asked for 7.

Kuleba, and Zelensky are asking not for 7 but for 25 patriot systems.

For humanitarian purposes, Russia didn’t wreak havoc over Ukraine’s energy infrastructure during the winter, only after the failed incursion in Belgorod and the ill advised attacks on Russians refineries, that Putin started to Mariupol, Ukraine’s energy sector, to force Washington’s hands I guess but now, they are in the dark and still no aid…

Ukraine will need to build up its own military and develop its own weapons. They can't rely on promises and good intentions.
That's hard to do under relentless Russian air strikes.
Ukr can´t build anything without relying on other´s good intentions. It´s an absolute bankrupt. It first lived on russian money, now on western. Their debt is beyond their capabilities in hundrieds of years. They need more money, then they´ll steal it and still build nothing.

First they didn't want to supply air defense for fear of making Russia mad, then they didn't want to supply tanks for fear of making Russia mad, then they refused to supply HIMARS to Ukraine. The list goes on. If they had supplied these weapons at the beginning of the war, Ukraine would be in a much better situation.
Germany have around 20systems, why do they need 20 systems in storage?
Sorry but Germany need air defence for own country, why can’t greedy ukriane used own money for change and used the money fund to buy them
Only 2 ??
I thought ukraine need 7 of them
😂 your friend has been out of job for 2 years, you provided him with one meal. 😅
Why? It is also in the best interest of all Europe to support Ukraine as much of possible. At the moment Ukraine is in the frontline fighting Russia and it could soon be NATO to face Russia in the near future, no doubt about that.
The best interest of EU is to push for a peace and focus on the economy of their respective nations.
Nonsense, such a brainwashed ideological thinking. What a disastrous kind of ignorance
NATO will fight Russia without America.

An interesting strategy. React to disaster, instead of being proactive. Ukraine should have been equipped properly from day one of the conflict. Support from the West was marked with vacillation and dithering. Support is piecemeal, sanctions are piecemeal, more time is spent in discussions than actual help. Two years into the conflict and the EU introduces its thirteenth sanction package. Perhaps better results would have been had, if all thirteen sanctions packages were applied from day one? Just a thought?
Well, this is actually a NATO problem, not an EU problem.
I blame the pro-Russian faction here in the US. Ukraine has manpower and morale issues right now. Why? Who wants to go to war ill-equipped? It's good that the Germans are stepping up, but we all know it's the US that can really change the momentum in the war.

@@XKS99 ... Unlike most, I am educated and degreed in this subject matter. The answers to your questions mostly bear on different issues. Maidan was set off because many were convinced that Yanukovich was refusing to sign the EU Cooperation Agreement because Putin ordered him not to. Jan. 6th happened because a wannabee dictator wasn't adult enough to gracefully accept an election loss. Maidan was a spontaneous uprising of people reliably convinced their votes were being ignored due to foreign influence. January 6th happened because an elected president called for it based ENTIRELY on a made up narrative.
Transgenderism has nothing to do with the subject and I HAVE spoken out against this fad.. People are tired of these made up conspiracies so many are submerged in.

When will ukraine actually pay for things and used the money fund to buy air defence and ammunition, there clearly got the money for them
Missiles for air defense systems should be financed from EU funds
Wow one???
These are insanely expensive. ~400 million $ without the interceptors. One complete purchase of PAC 3 costs at least 1 Billion. Germany has given 3 and has now only a dozen of these left in the Bundeswehr.
Everyone could do more but don't belittle this aid in particular. 1 system is a lot in this case.
