This was reported by the website of the head of the Ukrainian state.

Also, for the Ukrainian leader, the movement of our country to victory in the war for independence is important.

He stated this during a joint briefing with US President Joseph Biden following the meeting in Washington. 

We will remind that

President Biden announced a new package of military aid to Ukraine in the amount of about 2 billion dollars

.

And the strongest element of this package is the Patriot complex - something that will significantly strengthen Ukrainian air defense.

This is an important step in creating an effective air shield for Ukraine.

"This is the only way we will deprive the terrorist state of its main instrument of terror - the ability to attack our cities, our energy, and our people," the Ukrainian head of state said.

For the Patriot complexes, the necessary training of Ukrainian personnel will be provided so that they can continue to protect Ukrainian airspace.

Transfer of Patriot complexes to Ukraine

US President Joe

Biden told whether the transfer of Patriot air defense systems could lead to an even greater escalation from the Russian Federation

.

He emphasized that this is a weapon for defense, not offense. 

We will remind that the

training of the Ukrainian military to service the Patriot air defense system will last several months

.

The Patriot air defense battery will give Ukraine a critical long-range potential for the defense of the country.
