Dutch Defense Minister Kajsa Ollongren said Friday that the Netherlands is sending a Patriot missile defense system to Slovakia and that Germany is also sending two Patriot systems as NATO looks to bolster its forces near Ukraine.
The Dutch will send a small contingent of 150-200 troops along with the Patriots. Ollongren’s announcement comes after Slovak Defense Minister Jaroslav Nad said on Thursday that Slovakia was ready to “immediately” send its Soviet-designed S-300 missile system to Ukraine if it receives a “proper replacement.”
