Pentagon responds to complaints over Patriot missile delays

The Pentagon has addressed complaints from Kyiv regarding delays in the delivery of interceptor missiles for the Patriot air defense system. The U.S. Department of Defense stated that Washington's policy concerning weapons that European countries can send to Ukraine remains unchanged.

The Pentagon also confirmed that the NATO Presidential Weapons Program (PURL), through which allies and partners participate in defense resources and services provided by the United States, continues without any modifications. This response follows reports from the Kyiv administration alleging that U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth had not approved the delivery of Patriot interceptor missiles for nearly a month.
