The Ukrainian Defense Ministry reported this on Facebook , according to Ukrinform. "It is now important to strengthen our ability to counter ballistic threats as quickly as possible. This includes interceptors for Patriot systems. Ukraine is ready to work with partners on various supply mechanisms. Every delivery of interceptors and every opportunity to protect people, civilian facilities and critical infrastructure matters to us," Khmara said. Ukraine has already contracted supplies of Patriot missiles but is asking partners to transfer interceptors from their existing stockpiles in exchange for future deliveries allocated to Ukraine, the ministry said.
