EU defense ministers met today and were told by Ukraine’s Defense Minister Yevhenii Khmara that missiles for air defense were the top priority. Not for lack of animus against Russia, but for the simple lack of missiles, the meeting resulted in a big fat zero.
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, at a news conference after the informal session at Ireland’s Druids Glen resort, was asked about the result. All she could offer was: “On Patriot missiles, no, we didn’t get any concrete decisions today. But there were calls and talks about these missiles, and they will continue. Unfortunately, no concrete success today regarding this.”
