Milan, 21 July (LaPresse/AP) – Ukraine's new Defence Minister Denys Shmyhal has urged allies to speed up deliveries of American Patriot air defence systems in line with the plan presented by US President Donald Trump. ‘I ask the United States to make these weapons available for purchase and our European partners to extend all necessary funding for their purchase,’ Shmyhal, who until recently served as prime minister, said at the start of the meeting of the Contact Group on Defence for Ukraine.
