The Netherlands Delivers 3 Patriot Launchers to Ukraine Ahead of Winter

The Netherlands delivered 3 Patriot launchers to Ukraine, Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans announced on his X account on November 28.
He noted that with Ukrainians facing a "harsh winter" due to Russian airstrikes, the Netherlands is providing additional air defense systems to Ukraine.

"That’s why we have delivered three Patriot launchers. This saves lives and protects critical infrastructure. It has been and remains in our shared interest to stop Russian aggression," Brekelmans wrote in his post.
