A: Hey, did you catch the news recently?
B: Noo, what's new?

A: Germany's gonna send more air defense systems to Ukraine!
B: What?! That sounds serious... Why though?

A: Cause Russia keeps attacking with missiles and drones. It's sad because it killed at least 31 people in Ukraine already.
B: Oh no, that's terrible... So how many systems are they sending?

A: They said two more Patriot air defense systems, on top of the three they've already delivered. They're even getting new ones from the US!
B: That's cool... But why is Germany first to get those new ones?

A: I think it's because they helped out in return. You know, like a swap thing. Anyway, their defense minister said it shows how strong their support for Ukraine is.
B: Wow, that's a big move! Any plans to ask other countries to help too?

A: Yeah, they plan to encourage others to strengthen Ukraine's air defense capabilities. They want more allies in this fight, I guess.
