U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said this after the eighth meeting of the Contact Group on Defense Issues of Ukraine at the U.S. military base "Ramstein" in Germany.

"Canada purchased the NASAMS system and related equipment for Ukraine," he said.

Austin also recalled that several countries have already offered help in strengthening Ukraine's air defense, mentioning France, Britain and Germany - the latter offered to transfer a Patriot battery.
