Together with @EU_Commission President @vonderleyen, I welcome the agreement by the EU member states on the derogation for Ukraine to purchase crucial products for Patriot air defence systems. The next disbursement of $3.5 billion will enable Ukraine to better protect its skies from Russia’s indiscriminate attacks. Over the past year, #NATO Allies have allocated over $10 billion to PURL and US Foreign Military Sales for Ukraine. NATO and the EU will continue to work hand in hand to support Ukraine. It is yet another example of Europe stepping up.
