This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Romanian government today promised to send a full Patriot air defense system to Ukraine to bolster its defenses — on the condition that the United States help cover the gap.
However, the pledge comes on the condition that allies — and “especially the American strategic partner” — agree to provide an alternative “temporary solution.”
So far, Germany has promised to deliver three of its own platforms to Ukraine, with senior officials expressing frustration at the absence of further donations from other countries.
The Netherlands has offered a series of components to help piece together another standalone Patriot battery.
A number of European countries have Patriot systems on order, including Switzerland and Sweden.
However, the U.S. is pausing the delivery of Patriot interceptor missiles to other nations so it can fast-track orders for Ukraine, the FT reported.
