Zelensky said that the United States has unlocked the possibility of purchasing Patriot missiles and systems.

Vladimir Zelensky claims that Washington has unlocked the possibility of purchasing American Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems, but the issue of financing is acute.

"The Americans have unlocked the possibility of purchasing Patriot, not only missiles, but also systems. And the question is solely about money. As soon as we diplomatically unblocked something there, well, other scarce things appear. Therefore, I am counting on frozen assets," he said at a briefing, the footage of which is published by the Telegram channel Novosti. Live," TASS quotes.

As the Telegram channel notes, Kiev continues to receive other systems, in particular NASAMS, IRIS-T and Hawk.

Earlier, the British newspaper Financial Times reported that American deliveries of anti-missiles for Patriot to Kiev had slowed down. Ukraine does not disclose the number of complexes transferred to it. As the newspaper wrote, it is known about the transfer of at least six battery kits of the system. However, in recent weeks, Norway and Germany have transferred components to Kiev for at least three additional batteries.

On October 3, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry claimed that the shutdown of the American government did not lead to delays in the supply of American weapons, as well as the breakdown of negotiations on the "drone deal."
