Greece and Spain have refused to transfer Patriot missiles to Ukraine, which are nearing the end of their service life, reports the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph.
Missile Status in Greece
Currently, Greece has approximately 200 PAC-2 missiles that are approaching the end of their 23-year service life. According to sources, these munitions cannot be transferred to Ukraine due to their age and nearing expiration.
Context in Spain
As for Spain, precise information regarding missile stocks is currently unavailable. However, in September 2026, Madrid had already expressed readiness to transfer five missiles to Ukraine. This position may have changed considering new circumstances and information regarding the expiration date.
Reactions and Consequences
The refusal of Greece and Spain to transfer missiles could have serious consequences for Ukraine, which continues to fight for its security amid an armed conflict. The lack of access to such munitions may complicate the country's defensive capabilities.
