“I very much welcome the announcement by President Trump that the US is trying to find additional air defences for Ukraine,“ Kallas told reporters upon arrival for talks by EU leaders in Brussels.
Trump made the air defence commitment in a call with Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday, in which the Ukrainian leader asked for help in sourcing “Patriot missile systems” in particular, according to a US readout.
The offer was a rare signal from Trump that he could help bolster Ukraine’s defences as he pushes for a peace deal with Russia.
Officials say the system is the only one Kyiv possesses that can counter Russia’s ballistic missiles.
It has some similar systems of its own and has been provided with others for shorter-range interceptions.
Further Patriot systems could theoretically be available from elsewhere in Europe, but the countries hosting them have been reluctant to part with them for national security reasons.
