US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Tuesday he has been encouraging countries with Patriot missile systems to donate them to Ukraine, which has appealed for more of the air defense batteries.

“I have talked to the leaders of several countries [which have Patriots]… myself here in the last two weeks, encouraging them to give up more capability or provide more capability,” he said, without identifying the countries by name.

Various European Union countries possess the systems, including Spain, Greece, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden.
