German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said he expects additional air defense supplies for Ukraine to come from at least two more countries, as international efforts to bolster Kyiv's air defenses continue.
Wadephul's comments point to ongoing diplomatic efforts by Germany and other allies to coordinate further contributions of air defense systems to Ukraine, which has faced sustained aerial attacks on its cities and energy infrastructure throughout the war.
Air defense has remained one of the most urgent categories of military support requested by Ukraine, given the scale of missile and drone strikes it has faced. Germany has been among the countries supplying air defense systems to Ukraine, including Patriot systems, as part of a broader coalition of Western nations providing military assistance.
Wadephul did not name the specific countries he expects to provide additional supplies, and no formal announcements of new contributions have been made public following his remarks.
The continued search for additional air defense capacity reflects the pressure Ukraine faces in protecting its population and infrastructure as the conflict continues, with allies periodically announcing new packages of military aid in response to battlefield developments.
