Romanian President Signs Bill Clearing Way For Donation Of Patriot System To Ukraine

By RFE/RL's Romanian Service September 05, 2024

The Romanian government is in the final stages of donating a Patriot missile system to Ukraine in the midst of Ukraine's ever-increasing calls for more support from the West. On September 5, Romanian President Klaus Iohannis signed a bill allowing for the donation of the system, which is expected to be deployed as part of Ukraine's air defenses. Now, the government will issue an order for the donation to be carried out. The Patriot system is only one of two functioning in Romania. The government agreed to donate it on the condition that Bucharest's allies will replace it with another Patriot system at a later date.
