Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba, in an interview with Politico, said that the Patriot air defense system is the only thing Ukraine desperately needs to defend itself against the continuous Nazi missile attacks from Russia.

Give us the damn Patriots,” he told Politico after the ballistic missile attack on Ukraine.
The minister also noted that Ukrainian troops are losing ground due to the fact that Russia has begun to massively use KABs. The only way to prevent this is to shoot down planes carrying missiles.
“We were able to protect not only the lives of our people, but also our economy,” the minister said amid intensifying Russian attacks on Ukraine.
Kuleba is also concerned that the actions of the allies do not always correspond to their rhetoric. The war drags on, and the allies at this time “return to the usual way of conducting politics.” It seems to him that they want “Ukraine to fight with its hands tied behind its back.”
Kuleba did not confirm that the United States called on Ukraine to stop attacks on Russian oil refineries. But he answered in the affirmative when asked if there was a feeling that Western allies sometimes want Ukraine to fight with its hands tied.
Kuleba also describes a vicious circle: Western weapons are delayed or not enough – allies say Ukraine is retreating and cannot win – then they doubt the provision of new weapons.
But, guys, this whole picture of reality that you paint for yourself is a consequence of one simple fact – that Ukrainian soldiers do not have enough weapons, because you did not provide them, says the head of the Foreign Ministry.
In addition, the minister “was tired of answering about long-range Taurus missiles from Germany.”
Every time I answer, I get an irritated response from Berlin. Leave it to them. They put themselves in this situation. Let them find a way out,” Kuleba said.
Kuleba also said he welcomed the decision to transfer $60 billion in aid from the United States, which Republicans in Congress have been blocking for months.
Every time I hear new terms, I just say, “God bless America and the United States Congress,” he responded.
