“Ukraine is ready to buy at least 10 systems. I discussed this with the minimum with the President (Donald) Trump during our telephone conversation. Told me that America will work on it” – said Zelanski.
“I don't have any further information so far,” he added and noted that he was leading “separate talks with European countries, because it is very expensive“.
On Thursday, Zelnski repeated his offer to buy 10 Patriot systems, which he first submitted to Washington last week. INAt that time, US President Donald Trump, asked by journalists about this issue, stated with a snack: “He always wants to buy rockets”.
As the AFP agency writes, analysts estimate that the export of the Patriot battery can cost up to $ 2.5 billion, and the export of each missile missile to this system costs up to $ 10 million.
On Friday, Zelanski asked Ukraine's allies to provide 10 additional Patriot systems in connection with the growing number of Russian air attacks.
