Germany plans to purchase Patriot missiles for Ukraine at a cost of €5 billion, according to Alice Weidel, leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. The announcement was made recently as part of Germany's ongoing support for Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict.

Weidel criticized the decision, stating that the authorities could reduce electricity costs instead of allocating €9 billion from German taxes to Ukraine.
