KYIV, Jan 4 – Ukraine is negotiating not only about new Patriot batteries, but also about the supply of new NASAMS, Iris-T, and Crotale systems, since air defense and missile defense systems are a priority, Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said.

"The first group of needs concerns all, without exception, air defense and missile defense systems, in particular, and ammunition for them. Ukraine needs as many high-tech air defense systems as possible, and therefore we are negotiating not only about new Patriot batteries, but also about the supply of new NASAMS, Iris-T, and Crotale systems. We are grateful to the United States, Germany, Norway and France for the decisions already taken. We are working to expedite such decisions either from them or from other countries," Kuleba said during an online briefing on Wednesday.
