The United States is ramping up its military assistance to Ukraine, including the transfer of Patriot air defense systems from Israel. Reports indicate that Ukraine will receive additional Patriot systems this summer, with one confirmed transfer from Israel and potential contributions from Germany or Greece. In a related development, the Ukrainian Parliament is urging international partners to expedite the delivery of more air defense systems. Meanwhile, discussions surrounding the support for Ukraine continue, with suggestions of a secret agreement between Ukraine and the US emerging in the media. As tensions mount, Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged in a documentary that he is consistently considering potential successors, heightening the geopolitical stakes.
