Germany can no longer supply Ukraine with Patriot air defense systems, Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said in an interview with the Funke media group, according to TASS, due to the risk of creating critical gaps in Germany's own defenses.

Germany has already delivered several systems and a large number of guided missiles, and, according to him, anything handed over now cannot be replaced for some time. Pistorius called for a serious discussion of the issue at the next meeting of the Ukraine Contact Group in mid-November.
