U.S. Approves Sale of 500 Patriot Missiles to Ukraine Worth $2.1 Billion, but Delivery Could Take Years

The United States has approved the sale of 500 Patriot missiles to Ukraine, munitions that are urgently needed to defend against Russia’s intensifying air attacks.

The U.S. State Department said the advanced PAC-3 interceptor missiles are worth $2.1 billion, with the cost to be covered by Ukraine’s European allies and Canada.

However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the delivery of these missiles could take several years.

Zelenskyy has urged the United States to speed up the delivery process.

He has described the missiles as the only effective means of intercepting Russia’s devastating ballistic missiles.
