The Netherlands is not the only country willing to buy Patriot air defense batteries from any country for transfer to Ukraine, and there is intense partnership activity to provide Ukraine with air defense systems to protect it from Russian invasion.

The Netherlands are not the only ones who are ready to buy a Patriot air defense battery right now for further transfer to Ukraine, but did not specify this, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said during a national telethon, UNN reports .

I'll let you in on a little diplomatic secret: The Netherlands is not the only country that is ready to buy a Patriot battery from any country in the world right now for a price that country will name,

- Kuleba noted.

Details

Kuleba noted that the Netherlands' public signal was extremely important, as was NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg's statement that NATO standards should not be used as a cover when making decisions on the transfer of air defense systems to Ukraine.

In fact, when some countries say to us: "We can't give you a battery, because then we won't meet the NATO standard for the number of batteries we have," and the Secretary General tells them: "Don't hide behind me. Give everything you need to Ukraine. This is the main thing now,

- explained the Foreign Minister.

Dmytro Kuleba added that there has never been such an activity of partners in providing air defense equipment to Ukraine.

There is no need to look for batteries anymore; everyone knows where these batteries are. Everything that Ukraine said earlier has been confirmed. There are even more batteries than a hundred. There is a concrete understanding of which countries can quickly deliver batteries, so today we have taken a step towards making important decisions. The German example is certainly an additional incentive,

- the politician said.

According to the minister, the intensity of the partners' work on providing Ukraine with air defense has never been higher since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.

We are saying a very simple thing: if the time mathematics for the supply of batteries is a month, this does not prevent you from making an announcement today. If the delivery time is two weeks, this does not prevent you from making an announcement today. Now it is very important to send a clear signal, firstly, to all Ukrainians, and secondly, to Putin, that Ukraine will have everything it needs to defend and win,

- said the minister about the negotiations.
