German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht confirmed on Monday that Berlin would deliver the first of the four air defense systems to Ukraine within the next couple of days.
"The renewed missile fire on Kyiv and the many other cities show how important it is to supply Ukraine with air defense systems quickly... Russia's attacks with missiles and drones terrorize the civilian population in particular. That is why we are now providing support, especially with air defense weapons," Lambrecht noted.
Ukraine is expected to receive the IRIS-T SLM air defense systems amidst new rocket attacks on Kiev conducted by Russia earlier today.
