Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on July 30 that Warsaw will consider transferring additional Patriot missiles to Kyiv after a suspected Russian missile crashed into a field in eastern Poland earlier in the night.
President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly called on Ukraine's partners to provide additional Patriot systems and interceptors as Russia intensifies its attacks.
A senior Ukrainian official told the Kyiv Independent on July 15 that the United States had started the process of issuing licenses that would allow Ukraine to manufacture Patriot missiles, marking a step from political commitments toward implementation.
Russia launched dozens of missile on Ukraine overnight on July 30 in a large-scale attack that killed at least eight people and injured more than 50 others.
"And when we say that Ukraine needs Patriot missiles, when we seek capabilities to defend itself against Russian ballistic missiles, we are not talking about abstractions — we are talking about precisely such families," Zelensky added.
