It is part of a broader strategy being promoted by President Donald Trump. The plan involves European countries purchasing weapons for Ukraine to speed up its delivery.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;We will never put the United States at a strategic disadvantage and ensure that everything necessary is available. At the same time, I think we all recognize the urgent need that Ukraine now needs on the battlefield and to protect its cities,&#8221; Whitaker noted.<\/p>\n<p> He also added that the exact timing of decisions is not yet known.<\/p>\n<p> As a reminder, the US Department of Defense has notified Switzerland of<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/ssha-zatrymaiut-postavky-patriot-shveytsarii-shchob-napravyty-ikh-ukraini\/\">a delay in the delivery of Patriot air defense systems, as they will be sent to Ukraine.<\/a><\/p>\n<p> As reported, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/ukraina-mozhe-otrymaty-patriot-vzhe-za-kilka-tyzhniv-kantsler-nimechchyny\/\">Ukraine will receive Patriot in the coming weeks. The transfer is currently being coordinated at the level of the defense ministries.<\/a><\/p>\n<p> In addition, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is considering <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/velyka-brytaniia-rozghliadaie-uchast-u-zakupivliakh-ozbroiennia-ssha-dlia-pidtrymky-ukrainy\/\">joining Germany in purchasing American weapons for transfer to Ukraine<\/a> .
