NATO and EU pressure Greece to transfer Patriot missiles to Ukraine

NATO and European Union member states have intensified diplomatic pressure on Greece to supply up to 200 PAC-2 Patriot interceptor missiles to Ukraine. According to a revised proposal, allied nations are now specifically requesting the transfer of ammunition stockpiles rather than full air defence batteries. This strategic shift aims to address Ukraine's urgent need for air defence capabilities while allowing Athens to keep its primary Patriot battery systems intact to maintain its national defence posture. The updated request comes amid ongoing efforts by Western partners to bolster Ukraine's air space protection against missile strikes.
