Germany will begin shipping two U.S.–built Patriot air-defence systems to Ukraine “within days,” Defence Minister Boris Pistorius announced on 1 Aug.

The Bundeswehr says additional components and missiles will follow over the next quarter. Voice is TTS for accessibility; script fully researched & written by creator.
