NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg urged alliance members to continue their support for Kiev, warning that a Russian victory would pose the "greatest risk" to the alliance. 

"The outcome of this war will shape global security for decades to come," Stoltenberg emphasized during a NATO's 75th anniversary summit in July.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky insisted last month that Kiev requires 25 Patriot air defense systems to fully safeguard its airspace as the war nears its three-month mark.

During the July summit, the United States, Germany, Romania, and the Netherlands announced at that they are providing Ukraine with four Patriot systems.

President Joe Biden described the "historic donation," adding, "This is a pivotal moment for Europe, for the transatlantic community, and, I might add, for the world," he added.

Romanian broadcaster Digi24 reported on Thursday, citing a regulatory document, that Romanian President Klaus Iohannis approved legislative amendments that will enable the provision of a Patriot air defense system to Kiev.

The Digi24 report added that the country's national defense ministry is authorized to allocate the necessary funds to cover fees and commissions associated with the restoration of ground-based air defense capabilities.
