Greece and Spain are under intense pressure from their EU and NATO allies to provide Ukraine with additional air defence systems, according to Financial Times.
This month, Kyiv urgently appealed to Western allies to provide seven additional air defence systems.
Only Germany has announced the supply of an additional Patriot system.
Other EU leaders used last week's summit in Brussels to personally urge Spanish and Greek Prime Ministers Pedro Sánchez and Kyriakos Mitsotakis to donate some of their systems to Ukraine, people briefed on the discussions said.
The two leaders, whose armed forces have more than a dozen Patriot systems plus others such as the S-300, were told that their needs are not as great as Ukraine's and that they face no immediate threat.
"We all know who has them, we all know where they are, and we all know who really needs them," said one source.
Officials said that Poland and Romania, which also have Patriots, are under less pressure to consider supplying these systems to Kyiv, given their more vulnerable location on the border with Ukraine.
Ukraine currently has at least three Patriot systems, including one from the US and two from Germany.
It is known that Kyiv is particularly interested in the outdated Greek S-300 systems, which Ukrainian forces already have in service and have experience with.
"There are countries who are not in an immediate need of their air defence systems, to be very honest. Each country is being asked to decide what it can spare," said one EU diplomat involved in preparing the meeting.
The Greek and Spanish defence ministries declined to comment to the Financial Times. After meeting with Zelenskyy last month, Sánchez said Spain would "deliver new capabilities in 2024 to help Ukraine defend itself against Russian aggression."
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that he expects new air defence supply commitments "to be announced shortly" but did not provide any details on countries or weapons.
The German Foreign and Defence Ministers announced a global initiative to find additional air defence equipment for Ukraine in a letter to dozens of countries.
Earlier, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that Ukraine had identified 100 air defence systems available in allied countries and was asking for at least seven of them to be transferred to protect Ukrainian cities.

Agreed that my country (Spain) is helping very little. Shameful.
Leftard pro-terrorit goverment
Spain and Portugal are the furthest away from the conflict. If the threat would come from the Atlantic - guess what this countries would preach.
@@gluteusmaximus1657 Russia is a threat to Spain anyway. They already meddled in our internal issues to stir internal political tensions and destabilization.
Exactly, Spain should send immediately their youngsters to fight in Ukraine.

Greece
Greece has already given thousands of tanks,armored vehicles,Hawk long-range air-defense batteries,Tor and Osa short-range air-defense vehicles and ZU-23-2 air-defense guns. Also: ammunition for all these systems.
God bless us all and help Ukraine
Ukraine is only an excuse..the USA wants to destroy Russia, risking our lives.
Already we have lost our earnings with the devaluation of the Euro

Greece’s biggest enemy is also in NATO but Spain has no enemies and should upgrade

Listen geopolotical expert, spain is not under russian preassure but is under morocco preassure and has a short army, thats why spain resists to transfer its patriots
Enemigos: Marruecos, Argelia, armada rusa

1. Not being under Russian pressure is a reason to help Ukraine MORE, not less.They can send all kinds of lethal aid and not worry about retaliation.
2. Spain and Morocco haven't had open conflict for a while, and Morocco has never sent missiles to Spain. Morocco doesn't dare attack Spain becxause A) NATO and B) They seem to lose territory to Spain whenever they do.
3. Spain has a small army. How is that Ukraine's fault?
@@OAlem I am not sure NATO would back up Spain if Morocco decided to attack Ceuta and Melilla or other of our territories in Northern Africa. It is not clear in the treaty signed and the US is a close ally of Morocco and sells weapons to them. We don't consider Morocco to be a friendly neighbour, they are always blackmailing us in the way of letting waves of Africans reach our coasts when they want something; many of those then leave to other European countries, so Morocco might be a casual ally of the US but is not a friend of Europe.
Greece probably needs them because it is still under threat of casus belli by Turkey.
They are just making sure that they will have to use them to prove their point.
Spain and Greece likes to be recive but not to give.
that's not good in the gay community, very selfish.
@@goulddddable Is your expert knowledge based on wide and deep field experience?
But Spain has four Patriot s and one is now in Incirlik, Turkey, cause Spain helps there too. We are awareness with Sahel region, Morocco and Argelia so lonely.
Spain has helped NATO countries, turkey with wildfires/earthquakes.
@@goulddddable 😆
Thanks Germany
What the hell does Putin have on orban?
Where are de US Patriots that were stationed in Germany in the cold war?
All moved more east or sold to NATO members.
Spain needs to step up . They have been very luke warm with what they have sent so far
What do you think theve given?
