EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas acknowledged in Brussels on Monday that no new pledges had been made by member states to supply Ukraine with Patriot air-defence interceptors, despite mounting pressure on Kyiv's urgent air-defence needs, following a meeting of EU defence ministers. Kallas said the bloc had approved procurement plans worth 28.3 billion euros under the Ukraine Support Loan, including future Patriot missile purchases from US production, but conceded that missile manufacturing delays meant Ukraine required interceptors immediately rather than through slower supply channels. She confirmed EU member states had agreed terms to release 6.6 billion euros through the European Peace Facility, though not all countries have committed to returning reimbursed funds directly to Ukraine. On the Red Sea, Kallas said the EU's Aspides naval mission retained an adequate mandate but lacked sufficient vessels, with commercial ships queuing for escort through the Bab el-Mandeb strait. Addr
