Details: The meeting focused on Russia's increasing air terror against Ukrainian cities, including its use of ballistic missiles.

Kuleba urged Ukraine’s American partners to look into ways to provide additional Patriot air defence systems as soon as possible.

Quote from Kuleba: "I am grateful to the Secretary for taking action right away to reciprocate this call."

Kuleba and Blinken also discussed the next steps to unlock additional US aid for Ukraine.

"Today’s NATO-Ukraine Council meeting demonstrated that all NATO allies realise how urgent this matter is. We all need it to be resolved as soon as possible," Kuleba concluded. 

Kuleba had previously stated that during the NATO-Ukraine Council meeting, he focused solely on one issue: the supply of Patriot systems.

The foreign minister also said that Germany initiated a search for available Patriot air defence systems for Kyiv at a meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Council at NATO’s headquarters in Brussels on 4 April.

Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna supported Ukraine's proposal that Western countries should send air defence systems they have in their arsenals but do not use.
