Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced that Kyiv is preparing a contract to acquire 25 U.S.-made Patriot air defense systems, a move aimed at significantly strengthening the country’s protection against Russian missile and drone attacks.

The Patriot system is regarded as one of the most effective defenses against ballistic missiles, which travel at hypersonic speeds and have been a major threat to Ukraine’s infrastructure and cities.
