Zelenskyy: Ukraine secures some Patriot missiles at Coalition of the Willing summit

Ukraine has secured an agreement for the delivery of an unspecified number of missiles for its Patriot air-defence systems at the Coalition of the Willing summit in Kyiv.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made the announcement during a meeting with Estonian President Alar Karis in Kyiv, Caliber.Az reports, citing Ukrainian media.

“We received — I will not say from which country — confirmation of the transfer of several Crotale air-defence systems and missiles for them. We also received AIM missiles. These are very important missiles for us, which we use to shoot down enemy missiles. And, to be honest, I also will not say from which country — some more Patriot missiles have arrived. How many, I cannot say, but some. We need more,” Zelenskyy said.

He said the summit had also resulted in new support packages for Ukraine’s regions.

“From Belgium we received [support], from Denmark — they have the Mykolaiv direction. Estonia is supporting Zhytomyr,” Zelenskyy said, adding that Coalition members had also backed several veterans’ projects.

Belgium and Germany separately announced energy support packages for Ukraine, while Sweden pledged a substantial funding package for the production of Ukrainian drones, Zelenskyy said.

The Coalition of the Willing summit was held in Kyiv on August 24. Key issues included securing interceptor missiles for Patriot systems ahead of winter, addressing a $27 billion funding shortfall for Ukraine’s defence forces and reopening the Black Sea.

The 35-nation summit has reaffirmed its support for Ukraine at a meeting in Kyiv chaired by British Prime Minister Andy Burnham on Ukraine’s Independence Day.

Burnham pledged that Britain would maintain pressure on Russia despite Moscow’s threats, while allies agreed to make strengthening Ukraine’s air defences an urgent priority. The UK also approved the release of technical information on British-made components for the French SCALP missile, allowing Ukraine to pursue domestic production of the long-range weapon.

The coalition condemned Russia’s escalating attacks on Ukrainian cities and critical infrastructure and pledged further sanctions and measures targeting Moscow’s war finances. Burnham said the UK’s support for Ukraine would not waver until a “just and lasting peace” is achieved.
