“We reminded the President (U.S. President Joe Biden – editor’s note) about the possible acceleration of these programmes of (weapons – editor’s note) purchases which have been made. I repeat that we will receive the first Patriot anti-missile systems within this year, we will soon receive HIMARS artillery systems, we will receive F-35 aircraft, the newest generation of fighter planes, and the last purchase finalised from the side of the United States is 250 Abrams tanks, also of the new generation, so these are very extensive purchases.”
