  We consider the truncated equation for the centrally symmetric $V$-states in
the 2d Euler dynamics of patches and prove the existence of solutions
$y(x,\lambda),\, x\in [-1,1],\,\lambda\in (0,\lambda_0)$. These functions
$y(x,\lambda)\in C^\infty(-1,1)$ and $\|y(x,\lambda)-|x|\|_{C[-1,1]}\to 0,
\lambda\to 0$.
