Germany in talks to buy Patriots for Ukraine after US pause

Germany is holding intensive talks on procuring Patriot defence systems to pass on to Ukraine after the United States ordered a pause on some shipments of critical weapons, a German government spokesperson said on Friday.

"There are various ways to fill this Patriot gap," said the spokesperson, adding that one option being considered is buying the Patriot defence system in the United States and then passing them on.

"I can confirm that intensive discussions are indeed being held on this matter," he said.
