Ukraine is increasingly desperate to get more Patriots, with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy telling CBS news last month his government was ready to buy 10 of the U.S.-made air defence systems that are vital for shooting down Russian ballistic missiles. According to Ukrainian Defence Express military analysts, as of April this year, Ukraine had seven fully operational Patriot systems. The source who spoke on condition of anonymity said the U.S. and Greece were among the potential suppliers of the additional systems. Athens later ruled out its involvement in the plan. "There is no question of supplying Ukraine with Patriot systems from Greece," a government official told Reuters. Defence is a sensitive issue for Greece due to long-standing disputes with its neighbour and NATO ally Turkey. Athens, which has previously sent thousands of rockets, explosives, infantry-fighting vehicles, or IFVs, high explosive incendiaries, ammunition and anti-tank rockets to Ukraine, reiterated last year that it could not provide the country with Patriots. Quoting U.S. officials, the New York Times reported on Sunday that Washington was planning to send a Patriot system that was based in Israel to Ukraine after it is refurbished. It added that allies were talking about "the logistics of Germany or Greece" giving another one. Zelenskiy said he had discussed air defence systems with U.S. President Donald Trump on the sidelines of Pope Francis' funeral in the Vatican, in what he called the best meeting the two ever had.
