EU countries are hesitant about supplying Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine amidst Russian air attacks, with only Germany offering a single battery in response to Ukraine's request.
Netherlands is exploring all options and financially supporting Germany's initiative to help Ukraine, but finds it difficult to deplete their resources by providing Patriot systems.
NATO has identified existing capabilities within its alliance that can be offered to Ukraine, without disclosing the countries possessing Patriots.
Although Patriots are effective and Ukrainian troops are trained to use them, the lengthy production time of up to two years deters countries from supplying them to Ukraine.
