"I can assure you that there will be new 'Patriots'. And, frankly speaking, it is secondary for us where they come from. The main thing is that they should arrive as soon as possible, because this is the protection of our cities, the protection of our people," said the adviser to the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, Andriy Yermak.
Yermak said that the Ukrainian authorities hold daily talks with their key partners on this issue, especially with the United States, as they are the manufacturers of the 'Patriot' systems.
"This is their weapon and, of course, a lot depends on them [the United States]," Yermak said.
Ukraine has focused its demands and appeals in recent months on this anti-aircraft system, which it considers a priority to be able to face Russian attacks at a time when Ukrainian arsenals seem to be suffering from a shortage of weapons.
The foreign and defense ministers of the 27 member states of the European Union (EU) met in Luxembourg on Monday to discuss the possible shipment of six 'Patriot' systems to Ukraine, although no agreement was reached.
Attention is focused on several European countries, including Spain, which has the 'Patriot' system, but has not yet confirmed any shipment to Ukraine.
Ukraine has relied on financial and armament aid from Western allies since Russia invaded the country on February 24, 2022.
Kyiv's allies have also imposed sanctions on key sectors of the Russian economy in an attempt to diminish Moscow's capacity to finance the war effort in Ukraine.
Recent months have been marked by large-scale Russian airstrikes against Ukrainian cities and infrastructure, while Kyiv's forces have targeted sites in Russian territory near the border and in the Crimean peninsula, illegally annexed in 2014.
Now in its third year of war, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been facing a shortage of weapons and ammunition, despite repeated promises of aid from Western allies.
