Background:
- On Monday, 28 November, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki once again urged Germany to provide Ukraine with Patriot anti-ballistic missile systems that Berlin had offered to ship to Warsaw after the incident in the village of Przewodów, as Kyiv needs them more.
- The USA is considering the possibility of sending Patriot anti-ballistic missile systems to Ukraine in order to support air defence against Russian attacks.
