"Thank you to my colleagues @SecDef Boris Pistorius @BMVg_Bundeswehr @DefensieMin, and the American, German, Dutch people. We will win together," the tweet read further.

Notably, the Patriots are considered one of the world's most advanced US air defence systems.

In his first foreign trip since the war began, Zelenskyy was assured by US President Joe Biden three months ago of renewed assurance of his country's support in the ongoing military conflict with Russia during a meeting at the White House.

Pentagon, in December, last year, announced an additional USD 850 million of security assistance for Ukraine, bringing total military aid for Kyiv to USD 21.9 billion since the beginning of the Biden administration.

The latest assistance included the Patriot Air Defence System, capable of bringing down cruise missiles, short-range ballistic missiles, and aircraft at a significantly higher ceiling. (ANI)
