Speaking at Westerplatte, he urged Western countries to take responsibility and ensure Ukraine does not face Russian aggression alone, warning against repeating the mistakes of Munich and a policy of concessions.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says talks are underway on licensing Patriot production for Ukraine, but warned this would not address its short-term air defense needs. Even with a license, building factories and scaling production would take several years because the weapons are extremely complex, he said. Rubio added that demand for additional air defense missiles has become a top defense need worldwide and that the US must maintain sufficient stocks for its own requirements.

Ukraine has formally asked the EU for the first time to finance US-made PAC-3 missiles for Patriot systems through a €90 billion European loan, Ursula von der Leyen said. The request covers several billion euros for air defense and is being considered by EU countries. Because PAC-3 missiles are made in the US, the purchase needs a special exemption from loan rules prioritizing European and Ukrainian weapons; about €60 billion of the loan is earmarked for defense procurement.
