Details: Bild reported that Berlin is now awaiting confirmation from US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on the provision of two Patriot air defence systems, which Germany would finance for Ukraine.

Germany is said to have submitted the request several weeks ago.

"Kyiv had previously tried in vain to purchase Patriot systems directly from the United States and then turned to the German government," Bild wrote.

After the United States announced a halt to certain weapon deliveries to Ukraine, Berlin fears that Washington may also reject the German request for two Patriot systems.

Bild reported that the issue had been discussed at Wednesday's cabinet meeting, during which "it became clear that cancelled deliveries from the US cannot be compensated".

"Nevertheless, Germany and other allies now want to try to provide Ukraine with at least Patriot systems from their own stocks," Bild added.

Background : 

• President Volodymyr Zelenskyy intends to raise the matter of maintaining the supply of weapons and ammunition from the United States to Ukraine, including PAC-3 missiles for Patriot systems, in a conversation with US President Donald Trump on 4 July or in the next few days.
• Zelenskyy said that Ukraine is clarifying the details of military aid supplies with the United States at the working level following reports of a suspension of supplies.
