Germany's Scholz calls on NATO allies to deliver six Patriot systems to Kyiv

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said he hoped that members of the NATO alliance would soon deliver six Patriot air defence systems to Ukraine.

"We hope that six more will be found in the NATO context and I have also taken the opportunity here to advocate for this in many discussions," Scholz said on Thursday at the end of the second day of an EU summit in Brussels, adding that Germany had already promised to deliver one.
