<h1>US sells weapons to NATO allies who transfer them to Ukraine for faster delivery</h1> The United States is selling weapons to NATO allies in Europe who then provide them to Ukraine amid escalating Russian attacks. The administration confirmed this arrangement allows NATO countries to transfer existing weapons to Ukraine while purchasing replacements from the US, enabling faster delivery than direct shipments from American factories. Ukraine urgently needs Patriot air defense systems to counter Russian missile attacks, with the country requesting 10 additional systems. Germany has committed to providing two systems and Norway one. This approach circumvents potential congressional funding delays while maintaining weapons support for Ukraine's defense against Russian aggression.
