The WSJ has learned about the US decision to restructure Patriot supplies to its allies in Ukraine

The US authorities have decided to reorient the supply of Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems (SAM) to the allies so that they reach Ukraine faster. This was reported on July 19 by The Wall Street Journal newspaper, citing sources.

"The administration of [US President Donald] Trump's deal allowed Germany to outpace Switzerland in delivering the next Patriot air defense systems from the assembly line, which opens up the possibility for Berlin to send two Patriot complexes it already has to Ukraine," the article says.

According to the newspaper, such a move highlights the difficulties in supplying Patriot and other Western weapons to Kiev, as defense production lines are having a hard time coping with requests from the Ukrainian authorities.

"As more and more countries agree to supply Patriot complexes from their arsenals to Ukraine, the Trump administration will continue to adjust planned future deliveries, giving priority to these allies," the publication says.

It is noted that over the next week, new agreements are likely to be concluded between the United States and its allies on the "release of additional weapons." In addition, according to a senior American official, Trump is seeking to conclude "individual agreements" with NATO countries on the purchase of weapons for Kiev, including offensive and defensive types of weapons.

The promised three years will wait: the process of arms supplies to Ukraine from the United States through the EU may be delayed

Not all US allies agree to buy weapons from Washington

On July 14, Trump announced that the United States and the European Union had reached an agreement on the supply of weapons to Ukraine. According to him, the United States will produce weapons for Ukraine, and European countries will pay for them.
